Benh, 

Here are a few fixes for the POWER8 (Performance Optimization With Enhanced
RISC Eight) FSCR (Facility Status & Control Register).

First patch changes the FSCR so that it's set on secondary CPUs as well as when
MSR HV=0.

Second two patches make sure that the FSCR DSCR (Data Stream Control
Register) bit is set so that we don't trap on DSCR usage.

These are aimed to fix issues in 3.9.
