powerpc: Add new cache geometry aux vectors

This adds AUX vectors for the L1I,D, L2 and L3 cache levels
providing for each cache level the size of the cache in bytes
and the geometry (line size and number of ways).

We chose to not use the existing alpha/sh definition which
packs all the information in a single entry per cache level as
it is too restricted to represent some of the geometries used
on POWER.

+ * AT_*CACHEBSIZE above represent the cache *block* size which is
+ * the size that is affected by the cache management instructions.
+ *
+ * It doesn't nececssarily matches the cache *line* size which is
+ * more of a performance tuning hint. Additionally the latter can
+ * be different for the different cache levels.
+ *
+ * The set of entries below represent more extensive information
+ * about the caches, in the form of two entry per cache type,
+ * one entry containing the cache size in bytes, and the other
+ * containing the cache line size in bytes in the bottom 16 bits
+ * and the cache associativity in the next 16 bits.
+ *
+ * The associativity is such that if N is the 16-bit value, the
+ * cache is N way set associative. A value if 0xffff means fully
+ * associative, a value of 1 means directly mapped.
+ *
+ * For all these fields, a value of 0 means that the information
+ * is not known.
