The bulk of the selftests are actually below the powerpc sub directory.
This adds support for installing them, when on a powerpc machine, or if
ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set appropriately.
This is a little more complicated because of the sub directory structure
under powerpc, but much of the common logic in lib.mk is still used. The
net effect of the patch is still a reduction in code.

This patch includes all of the powerpc test binaries into the .gitignore
file listing in their respective directories. This will make sure that
git ignores all of these test binaries when displaying status.

This gives us standardised success/failure output and also handles
killing the test if it runs forever (2 minutes).

Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is
context switched during a transaction.
The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving
the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's
default value:
__switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm()
which calls tm_reclaim_task()
which calls tm_reclaim_thread()
which calls tm_reclaim()
where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default
__switch_to() calls _switch()
where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR
When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual)
and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value
will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by
the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case
the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the
transaction.
The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early
in __switch_to().
A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as:
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.
