powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch

Implement a POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch
instructions.

This is a copy of the POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user
loop. Detailed implementation and performance details can be found in
commit a66086b (powerpc: POWER7 optimised
copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX).

I noticed memcpy issues when profiling a RAID6 workload:

	.memcpy
	.async_memcpy
	.async_copy_data
	.__raid_run_ops
	.handle_stripe
	.raid5d
	.md_thread

I created a simplified testcase by building a RAID6 array with 4 1GB
ramdisks (booting with brd.rd_size=1048576):

# mdadm -CR -e 1.2 /dev/md0 --level=6 -n4 /dev/ram[0-3]

I then timed how long it took to write to the entire array:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1M

Before: 892 MB/s
After:  999 MB/s

A 12% improvement.
