[PATCH] arch/powerpc: advertise ISA2.07, HTM, DSCR, EBB and ISEL bits in HWCAP2

Now that we have AT_HWCAP2 support, start exposing some of the new
POWER8 features via it.

Note: there are, I think, some Freescale processors that also should be
updated to indicate they support ISEL, but I don't know which ones.
Since this is a new feature bit (and vector), it seems like we can fix
that up in a follow-on patch. Also, this is my first patch trying to
manipulate these bits, so please let me know if I'm doing something
wrong (for instance, I don't see any particular order to the bits in
PPC_FEATURE_*)
