[PATCH] ppc64: Detect altivec via firmware on unknown CPUs

[Michal Ostrowski]

Following the application of this patch, if somebody (e.g. me) tries to boot
a kernel without CONFIG_ALTIVEC using a root filesystem (and a glibc)
that does use altivec, the boot just seems to hang with no errors or
explanation.   Is there some sane way to report this?
