Currently Facility Unavailable is absent and once an application
tries to use or access a register from a feature disabled in the
CPU it causes a kernel panic.
A simple test-case is:
int main() { asm volatile ("tbegin.;"); }
which will use TM (Hardware Transactional Memory) feature which
is not supported by the kernel and so will trigger the following
kernel panic:
----
fatal user trap:
exception = 0xf60 (unknown)
srr0 = 0x10000890
srr1 = 0x800000000000f032
lr = 0x100004e4
curthread = 0x5f93000
pid = 1021, comm = htm
panic: unknown trap
cpuid = 40

Since Hardware Transactional Memory is not yet supported by FreeBSD, treat
this as an illegal instruction.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
When committing DTrace in 2012/2013 era I inadvertently broke breakpoints, by
setting EXC_DTRACE to the same value as BKPT_INST. Change EXC_DTRACE to a
different, yet logically identical, trap (tw <all>,31,31).

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.

e500mc, e5500, and e6500 all use the normal FPU, with the same behavior as AIM
hardware. e6500 also supports Altivec, so, although we don't yet have e6500
hardware to test on, add these IVORs as well. Theoretically, since it boots the
same as a e5500, it should work, single-threaded, single-core, with full altivec
support as of this commit.
With this commit, and some other patches to be committed shortly FreeBSD now
boots on the P5020, single-core, all the way to user space, and should boot just
fine on e500mc.

and POWER8. This instruction set unifies the 32 64-bit scalar floating
point registers with the 32 128-bit vector registers into a single bank
of 64 128-bit registers. Kernel support mostly amounts to saving and
restoring the wider version of the floating point registers and making
sure that both scalar FP and vector registers are enabled once a VSX
instruction is executed. get_mcontext() and friends currently cannot
see the high bits, which will require a little more work.
As the system compiler (GCC 4.2) does not support VSX, making use of this
from userland requires either newer GCC or clang.

implicitly through relocation processing. One has to be set explicitly in
machdep.c, however, to fit one handler in the tiny (8 instruction) space
available.

Summary:
Revert the initial FBT-with-KDB changes for trap_subr*.S, and instead use the
db_trap filter function to handle dtrace trap filtering. With this, the MMU is
enabled by the support code, simplifying the codepath altogether.

Use it universally. Book-E traps may also need revisiting due to the
introduction of fixed-offset traps and the deprecation of IVORs in POWER
ISA 2.06, but that's very much an issue for another day.

Bring PPC4XX defines (PSL, SPR, TLB). Note the new definitions under
BOOKE_PPC4XX are not used in the code yet.
This change set is not supposed to affect existing E500 support, it's just
another reorg step before bringing support for E500mc, E5500 and PPC465.
