[PATCH 0/8] [PowerPC] Miscellaneous fixes for register access


This patch series fixes some issues with register access on ppc linux
targets and refactors related code.

Paches #1-#4 are for refactoring. Patch #1 changes all ppc linux
targets (native, core file and gdbserver) so that they use the same
code for selecting a target description. Patch #2 simplifies the
arch_setup code by reusing the native target function for determining
the target wordsize. Patch #3 disables regsets by setting their sizes
to 0 to reduce the number of references to the hwcap global. Patch #4
changes all the targets to use the same size constants for the vector
regset sizes.

Patch #5 fixes an outdated assumption of big-endianess made to access
the vector control register, and refactors the native functions for
accessing the vector regset. Patch #6 fixes the code used to get
vector-scalar registers from core files, and refactors the native
functions for accessing these same registers, in a way similar to
patch #5.

Patch #7 changes the gdbarch_init function so that decimal
floating-point pseudo registers are only added to the architecture
when they exist.

Patch #8 changes the read_description function for core files to use
the full set of target descriptions available in the native target.
