cc657f5392 powerpc: Fix clearing of the FPSCR when invoking a signal handler
As pointed out by Gary Byers, we were clearing the image of the FPSCR
(floating point status and control register) in the thread_struct before
copying it to the user stack when invoking a signal.  Thus the task
would see its FPSCR getting cleared when it took a signal.

While fixing it I noticed that our swapcontext system call was also
clearing FPSCR.  It shouldn't, so I fixed that too.

dcad47fc42 [PATCH] powerpc: Kill ppcdebug
The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose.  The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.

This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.

Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).
