powerpc: Routines for FP/VSX/VMX unavailable during a transaction
We do lazy FP but not lazy TM (ie. userspace starts with MSR TM=1 FP=0). Hence if userspace does an FP instruction during a transaction, we'll take an fp unavailable exception. This adds functions needed to handle this case. We have to inject the current FP state into the checkpoint so that the hardware can decide what to do with the transaction. We can't inject only the FP so we have to do a full treclaim and recheckpoint to inject just the FP state. This will cause the transaction to be marked as aborted by the hardware. This just add the routines needed to do this for FP, VMX and VSX. It doesn't hook them into the rest of the code yet.
