Use cmpb which compares each byte in two 64 bit values and
for each matching byte places 0xff in the target and 0x00
otherwise.
A simple hash_name microbenchmark:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/hash_name_bench.c
shows this version to be 10-20% faster than running the x86
version on POWER8, depending on the length.

It is a rarely exercised case, so we want to have a test to ensure it
works as required.

Implement a bi-arch and bi-endian version of load_unaligned_zeropad.
Since the fallback case is so rare, a userspace test harness was used
to test this on ppc64le, ppc64 and ppc32:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/test_load_unaligned_zeropad.c
It uses mprotect to force a SEGV across a page boundary, and a SEGV
handler to lookup the exception tables and run the fixup routine.
It also compares the result against a normal load.

This is an optimization for the PowerPC in 64-bit
little-endian. Bit counting is used in find_zero(), instead
of the multiply and shift.
It is modelled after Alan Modra's PowerPC LE strlen patch
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00097.html.

The powerpc word-at-a-time functions are big endian specific.
Bring in the x86 version in order to support little endian builds.

This is much the same as for SPARC except that we can do the find_zero()
function more efficiently using the count-leading-zeroes instructions.
Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC.
