powerpc: Add Initiate Coprocessor Store Word (icswx) support

Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S
processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are
registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization
time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg
transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the
processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction.
The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the
transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to
determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction.

The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs
to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed
when the context is destroyed.
