These patches try to support context tracking for Power arch, beginning with 
64-bit pSeries. The codes are ported from that of the x86_64, and in each
patch, I listed the corresponding patch for x86.

Would you please help review and give your comments?

Thanks, Zhong

  powerpc: Syscall hooks for context tracking subsystem

  powerpc: Exit user context on notify resume
  powerpc: Use the new schedule_user API on userspace preemption
  powerpc: select HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING for pSeries
