powerpc64le requires at minimum POWER8 hardware, so ISA 2.06 atomic
instructions are always available.
This isn't so for powerpc64 (BE), so isn't enabled by default there.
While here, fix all links to older en_US.ISO8859-1 documentation
in the src/ tree.

lang/rust needs COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to build, even though powerpc64le itself is supported only since 13.0.
I also corrected a comment, because if we ever have lib32 for powerpc64le, it will be for powerpcle.

Support for powerpc64le appeared in 13, so there's no point to enable COMPAT_* for older releases.
Also disable COMPAT_FREEBSD32, since there's no powerpcle. Since that may change in the future, leave the option commented out.

This does an import of quirk stubs, debugging macros from USB code and
numerous usage constants used by dependent drivers.
Besides, this change renames some functions to get a better matching
with userland library and NetBSD/OpenBSD HID code. Namely:
- Old hid_report_size() renamed to hid_report_size_max()
- New hid_report_size() calculates size of given report rather than
maximum size of all reports.
- hid_get_data_unsigned() renamed to hid_get_udata()
- hid_put_data_unsigned() renamed to hid_put_udata()
Compat shim functions are provided in usbhid.h to make possible compile
of legacy code unmodified after this change.

It will be used by the upcoming HID-over-i2C implementation. Should be
no-op, except hid.ko module dependency is to be added to affected drivers.

This is slightly stripped down from GENERIC64, as PowerMac G5 machines
are incapable of running in LE mode (so we can skip the Mac drivers.)
While technically POWER6 and POWER7 have the hardware capability of running
in LE mode, they have a tendency to trap excessively when a load/store is
misaligned. (an extremely common occurrence in LE code, and one of the main
reasons I consider BE to be superior, as it turns potential security issues
into immediately obvious mangled numbers.)
Additionally, there was no mechanism to control what endian interrupts
are delivered in, so supporting LE operation on POWER6 and POWER7 involves
some really dirty tricks in the interrupt vectors that I would rather
avoid.
IBM drew the line in the sand at POWER8 some time around 2013, embracing
full support for LE in the platform, and making a push across the board
for LE code to target POWER8 as a minimum requirement. As such, usage of
LE kernels on POWER6 and POWER7 is practically nil, despite it being
technically possible to do.
The so-called "TRUELE" feature bit which is the baseline requirement for
needed for PowerPC64LE was introduced in POWER8.
