The DEXCR is a SPR that allows control over various execution
'aspects', such as indirect branch prediction and enabling the
hashst/hashchk instructions. Further details are in ISA 3.1B
Book 3 chapter 9.

This series adds static (compile time) support for initialising
the DEXCR, and basic HASHKEYR bookkeeping.

v3:	* Address Russell's comments
v2:	* Add ptrace/coredump support
