[RFC PATCH 3/4] powerpc: Optimize register usage for dear register

From: Xiongwei Song <sxwjean at gmail.com>

Create an anonymous union for dar and dear regsiters, we can reference
dear to get the effective address when CONFIG_4xx=y or CONFIG_BOOKE=y.
Otherwise, reference dar. This makes code more clear.
