> We need the SPRN_TIDR to be set for use with fast thread-wakeup (core-
> to-core wakeup) and also with CAPI.
> 
> Each thread in a process needs to have a unique id within the process.
> But as explained below, for now, we assign globally unique thread ids
> to all threads in the system.

> Changelog[v3]
> 	- Merge changes with and address comments to Christophe's patch.
> 	  (i.e drop CONFIG_PPC_VAS; use CONFIG_PPC64; check CPU_ARCH_300
> 	  before setting TIDR). Defer following to separate patches:
> 	  	- emulation parts of Christophe's patch,
> 		- setting TIDR for tasks other than 'current'
> 		- setting feature bit in AT_HWCAP2
> 
> Changelog[v2]
> 	- Michael Ellerman: Use an interface to assign TIDR so it is
> 	    assigned to only threads that need it; move assignment to
> 	    restore_sprs(). Drop lint from rebase;
