powerpc: Optimise the 64bit optimised __clear_user
I blame Mikey for this. He elevated my slightly dubious testcase: to benchmark status. And naturally we need to be number 1 at creating zeros. So lets improve __clear_user some more. As Paul suggests we can use dcbz for large lengths. This patch gets the destination cacheline aligned then uses dcbz on whole cachelines.
