powerpc: Load Monitor Register Support
This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction) loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a new FSCR bit, LM. This patch disables the FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables that bit when a load monitor facility unavailable exception is taken for using it. On context switch, this bit is then used to determine whether the two relevant registers are saved and restored. This is done lazily for performance reasons.
