If we're running on a CPU without VMX/VSX then don't touch them. This
is fragile, the compiler could spill a VMX/VSX register and break the
test anyway. But in practice it seems to work, ie. the test runs to
completion on a system without VSX with this change.

On systems with large number of cpus, test fails trying to set
affinity by calling sched_setaffinity() with smaller size for affinity
mask. This patch fixes it by making sure that the size of allocated
affinity mask is dependent on the number of CPUs as reported by
get_nprocs().

Turns out pthreads returns an errno and doesn't set errno. This doesn't
play well with perror().

This reduces overhead of mutex locking and increases context switch
rate significantly (which helps to measure and profile the context
switch path).

There are some functions, especially register related, which can
be shared across multiple selftests/powerpc test directories.
This patch creates a new include directory to store those shared
files, so that the file layout becomes more neat.

Currently it doesn't appear the resulting binary actually uses any
Altivec or VSX instructions the solution is to explicitly tell GCC to
use vector instructions and use vector types in the code.
Part of this this issue can be GCC version specific:
GCC 4.9.x is happy to use Altivec and VSX instructions if altivec.h is
includedi (and possibly if vector types are used), this also means that
4.9.x will use VSX instructions even if only -maltivec is passed. It is
also possible that Altivec instructions will be used even without
-maltivec or -mabi=altivec.
GCC 5.2.x complains about the lack of -maltivec parameter if altivec.h
is included and will not use VSX unless -mvsx is present on commandline.
GCC 5.3.0 has a regression that means __attribute__((__target__("no-vsx"))
fails to build. A fix is targeted for 5.4.
Furthermore LTO (Link Time Optimisation) doesn't play well with
__attribute__((__target__("no-vsx")), LTO can cause GCC to forget about
the attribute and compile with VSX instructions regardless. Be wary when
enabling -flfo for this test.

When we inverted the behaviour of the flags we forgot to update the

Simply because it touches more code paths that way, and therefore tests
more things.

For ease of use make the context_switch test do something useful when
called with no arguments.
Default to a 30 second run, using threads, doing yield, and use any
online cpu. Make it print out what it's doing to avoid confusion.

This gets referred to a lot in commit messages, so let's pull it into
