[PATCH 1/3] elf: Add some new PowerPC specifc note sections

[Anshuman Khandual]

This patch adds four new note sections for transactional memory
and one note section for some miscellaneous registers. This addition
of new elf note sections extends the existing elf ABI without affecting
it in any manner.
