Anton Blanchard c208505900 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.
