[PATCH 6/6] powerpc64/bpf: Additional NVR handling for bpf_throw

From: Abhishek Dubey <adubey at linux.ibm.com>

The bpf_throw() function never returns, if it has
clobbered any callee-saved register, those will
remain clobbered. The prologue must take care of
saving all callee-saved registers in the frame of
exception boundary program. Later these additional
non volatile registers R14-R25 along with other
NVRs are restored back in the epilogue of exception
callback.

To achieve above objective the frame size is
determined dynamically to accommodate additional
non volatile registers in exception boundary's frame.
For non-exception boundary program, the frame size
remains optimal. The additional instructions to
save & restore r14-r25 registers are emitted only during
exception boundary and exception callback respectively.
