A few points:
We need a TAR bit as well, although this could be covered in 207?
For TM we need to turn it off if CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is not
set. Look at PPC_FEATURE_HAS_ALTIVEC_COMP for how we do that and follow
the bouncing ball.
Please add ISEL on other processors.
Please add DSCR on other processors.
EBB can be reserved, but there is no enablement at this point so don't
turn it on yet. We'll turn it on when we send the perf API.
