Preliminary PPC64/Linux host support

ppc64.ld from Heikki Lindholm's patch
http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=114086179024634&w=2

Issues:
x86_64 tripple faults shortly after decompressing the kernel
No immediate versions of most 64 bit operations

Nice! I already spent some hours fixing a previous ppc64 patch that
was sent to the list like half a year ago, which was pre TCG and
did not work with relocations generated by latest toolchains.

I'll definetly give this patch a try ASAP and try to find some time
slots to help streamlining it.

That would be great. One thing i failed to mention in the commit
message is that linux-user support seems completely broken on ppc64,
i.e. doesn't even compile and error messages are frightening (or
maybe it was the amount of them that scared me)
I gave it a spin yesterday, it built and managed to boot a decent linux-2.6
system until the first user-space programs after init where running and
segfaulted thereafter.

I'm abroad the next days, but I'll definetly will help (or try to, I'm no
yet that into TCG, yet :-) to hunt those segfaults :-)

Yours,
