To clarify things for reviewers: the bulk of the patch is new files only
used for e500. If you're concerned with classic hard-float, you need only
satisfy yourself that sysdeps/powerpc/preconfigure won't affect you. For
classic soft-float, you need only check the changes to
sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/soft-supp.h, sysdeps/powerpc/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h
and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/nofpu/nptl/localplt.data as
well as the preconfigure script. Everything else is in e500-specific
files.
Although the port benefits from the six listed kernel changes, it doesn't
depend on them; you can use it with an unpatched kernel and will just get
noisier libm test results because of kernel bugs.
