Somehow we missed this when the pr_cont() changes went in. Fix CR/XER
to go on the same line as MSR, as they have historically, eg:

  MSR: 8000000000009032 &lt;SF,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI&gt;  CR: 4804408a  XER: 20000000

<title>powerpc/64: Optimise set/clear of CTRL[RUN] (runlatch)</title>

On modern CPUs the CTRL register is read-only except bit 63 which is
the run latch control. This means it can be updated with a mtspr
rather than mfspr/mtspr.

To accomodate older CPUs (Cell at least), where there are other bits
in the register, we still do a read/modify/write on pre 2.06 CPUs.

There's a non-trivial dependency between some commits we want to put in
next and the KVM prefetch work around that went into fixes. So merge
fixes into next.

__giveup_vsx/save_vsx are completely equivalent to testing MSR_FP
and MSR_VEC and calling the corresponding giveup/save function so
just remove the spurious VSX cases. Also add WARN_ONs checking that
we never have VSX enabled without the two other.

<title>powerpc: Fix VSX enabling/flushing to also test MSR_FP and MSR_VEC</title>

VSX uses a combination of the old vector registers, the old FP
registers and new "second halves" of the FP registers.

Thus when we need to see the VSX state in the thread struct
(flush_vsx_to_thread()) or when we'll use the VSX in the kernel
(enable_kernel_vsx()) we need to ensure they are all flushed into
the thread struct if either of them is individually enabled.

Unfortunately we only tested if the whole VSX was enabled, not if they
were individually enabled.

This is caused by us trying to load THREAD_LOAD_FP with MSR_RI=0, and taking an
SLB miss on the thread struct.
