powerpc/process: Fix altivec SPR not being saved
In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test:
if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC)))
t->vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE);
CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test
is equivilent to:
if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) &&
cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE))
On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not
being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore
code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore,
but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used
in several code paths.
