[PATCH 14/19] powerpc: Add ppc_strict_facility_enable boot option

Wed Oct 28 11:51:02 AEDT 2015
Add a boot option that strictly manages the MSR unavailable bits.
This catches kernel uses of FP/Altivec/SPE that would otherwise
corrupt user state.

+ ppc_strict_facility_enable
+ [PPC] This option catches any kernel floating point,
+ Altivec, VSX and SPE outside of regions specifically
+ allowed (eg kernel_enable_fpu()/kernel_disable_fpu()).
+ There is some performance impact when enabling this.
