This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward
compatibility is maintained.
The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

This reverts commit e4cc58944c, as
requested by Roland McGrath, because compat_ptrace_request (added in
commit e16b278164, "ptrace:
compat_ptrace_request siginfo") now handles this case.

Current versions of gdb require a working implementation of
PTRACE_GETSIGINFO for proper watchpoint support. Since struct siginfo
contains pointers it must be converted when passed to a 32-bit debugger.
