commit dd58a092c4202f2bd490adab7285b3ff77f8e467 upstream.

The Vector Crypto category instructions are supported by current POWER8
chips, advertise them to userspace using a specific bit to properly
differentiate with chips of the same architecture level that might not
have them.

We use bit 63 of the event code for userspace to request that the event
be counted using EBB (Event Based Branches). Export this value, making
it part of the API - though only on processors that support EBB.

Fix up users of these variables.

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.
Unexport sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

   - Some rework of our page table format by Aneesh Kumar which fixes a
     thing or two and paves the way for THP support.  THP itself will
     not make it this time around however.

   - More Freescale updates, including Altivec support on the new e6500
