Michael Neuling	090b9284d7	powerpc/tm: Clear MSR RI in non-recoverable TM code ... When we treclaim and trecheckpoint there's an unavoidable period when r1 will not be a valid kernel stack pointer. This patch clears the MSR recoverable interrupt (RI) bit over these regions to indicate we have an invalid kernel stack pointer. For treclaim, the region over which we clear MSR RI is larger than required to avoid the need for an extra costly mtmsrd. Thanks to Paulus for suggesting this change.

Michael Neuling	f110c0c192	powerpc: fix compiling CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM when CONFIG_ALTIVEC=n ... We can't compile a kernel with CONFIG_ALTIVEC=n when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=y. We currently get: arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:320: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VSCR arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:323: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VR0 arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:323: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VR0 etc. The below fixes this with a sprinkling of #ifdefs.

Michael Neuling	98ae22e15b	powerpc: Add helper functions for transactional memory context switching ... Here we add the helper functions to be used when context switching. These allow us to fully reclaim and recheckpoint a transaction. We introduce a new paca field called tm_scratch to help us store away register values when doing the low level tm reclaim register save.
