powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2)
The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

/*
+ * SPRG usage:
+ *
+ * All 64-bit:
+ * - SPRG3 stores PACA pointer
+ *
+ * 64-bit server:
+ * - SPRG0 unused (reserved for HV on Power4)
+ * - SPRG1 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG2 scratch for exception vectors
+ *
+ * All 32-bit:
+ * - SPRG3 current thread_info pointer
+ * (virtual on BookE, physical on others)
+ *
+ * 32-bit classic:
+ * - SPRG0 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG1 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG2 indicator that we are in RTAS
+ * - SPRG4 (603 only) pseudo TLB LRU data
+ *
+ * 32-bit 40x:
+ * - SPRG0 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG1 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG2 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG4 scratch for exception vectors (not 403)
+ * - SPRG5 scratch for exception vectors (not 403)
+ * - SPRG6 scratch for exception vectors (not 403)
+ * - SPRG7 scratch for exception vectors (not 403)
+ *
+ * 32-bit 440 and FSL BookE:
+ * - SPRG0 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG1 scratch for exception vectors (*)
+ * - SPRG2 scratch for crit interrupts handler
+ * - SPRG4 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG5 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG6 scratch for machine check handler
+ * - SPRG7 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG9 scratch for debug vectors (e500 only)
+ *
+ * Additionally, BookE separates "read" and "write"
+ * of those registers. That allows to use the userspace
+ * readable variant for reads, which can avoid a fault
+ * with KVM type virtualization.
+ *
+ * (*) Under KVM, the host SPRG1 is used to point to
+ * the current VCPU data structure
+ *
+ * 32-bit 8xx:
+ * - SPRG0 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG1 scratch for exception vectors
+ * - SPRG2 apparently unused but initialized
