Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

The partition_name field is an array, so can never be NULL itself. Check only
the first byte instead.
This was found when test building with clang, but I'm not sure how it passes
gcc's warnings either.
libiberty currently defines the prototype for basename() itself instead
of using <libgen.h>. It still uses the BSD-style prototype instead of
the POSIX one, meaning that if FreeBSD would switch over to the POSIX
one, you wouldn't be able to use libiberty.h and libgen.h in a single
source file. It turns out that kgdb does this. Patch up libiberty to
just include <libgen.h>.
I'm currently talking to upstream to see whether we can come up with a
more complete solution that could be integrated, but for our
unmaintained copy of GDB in base, let's just apply the simplest
workaround possible.

When the armv6 support was imported from a project branch, this complex
conditional logic and related #define'd values came along, but it's really
not clear what the intent of it all was. The effect, however, was that
OSABI was always set to zero, which is "UNIX System V ABI". Having the wrong
value there causes pkg(8) to avoid looking inside arm elf binaries to

These may be emmitted by clang so it's best to print a warning when the

- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current
XSTATE save area (so the size of the buffer needed for PT_GETXSTATE)
and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
