[PATCH] PowerPC thread pointer bias requires powerpc/lowlevelrobustlock.sym

I've been sitting on this patch for way too long.  

The TID implementation in the default lowlevelrobustlock.sym is wrong
for PowerPC.  The thread point on PowerPC is biased by -0x7000 to extend
the size of the FAST TLS to 64KB.  This patch provides a powerpc
implementation to take this into account.
