powerpc: create giveup_all()
Create a single function that gives everything up (FP, VMX, VSX, SPE). Doing this all at once means we only do one MSR write. A context switch microbenchmark using yield(): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield --fp --altivec --vector 0 0 shows an improvement of 3% on POWER8.
