powerpc: New copy_4K_page()

This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best
performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit
powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either
matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or
bettered it by a small amount.

It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system
time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased
by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of
2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5
or Power6.

The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An
initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source
page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do
this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches.

A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the
previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy
routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the
setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup
loop is nop'ed out.
