This patchset is an attempt at trying to improve the VMX (Altivec) instruction
performance by laying the groundwork for use of the new TCG vector operations.

Patches 1 and 2 fix a sign-extension error discovered in EXTRACT_SHELPER and an
associated typo in the SIMM5 macro which were discovered whilst testing Richard's
follow-on TCG vector improvements patchset.

In order to use TCG vector operations, the registers must be accessible from cpu_env
whilst currently they are accessed via arrays of static TCG globals. Patches 3-5
are therefore mechanical patches which introduce access helpers for FPR, AVR and VSR
registers using the supplied TCGv_i64 parameter.

Once this is done, patch 6 enables us to remove the static TCG global arrays and updates
the access helpers to read/write to the relevant fields in cpu_env directly.

Patches 7 and 8 perform the legwork required to enable VSX instructions to be converted
to use TCG vector operations in future by rearranging the FP, VMX and VSX registers into
a single aligned VSR register array (the scope of this patchset is VMX only).

Patch 9 removes the AVR* macros and replaces them with the corresponding Vsr* macros
since they are equivalent.

Finally thanks to Richard for taking the time to answer some of my (mostly beginner)
questions related to TCG.

v5:
- Fix up KVM-enabled builds on PPC host due to missing conversion of target/ppc/kvm.c

v4:
- Rebase onto master
- Add extra R-B tags from Richard
- Leave HI_IDX/LO_IDX in int_helper.c in patch 9 (similarly named macros are also
  used in other files so let's ensure there is no confusion)
- Add cpu_fpr_ptr(), cpu_vsrl_ptr() and cpu_avr_ptr() as suggested by Richard in
  patch 8

v3:
- Rebase onto master, drop RFC prefix, alter subject line
- Add A-B tags from David
- Add SIMM5/EXTRACT_HELPER macro fix patches to the start of the series
- Drop patch 4 from previous patchset (delay AVR register writeback) as it should
  not be required.
- Remove extra get_fpr() accidentally added to GEN_FLOAT macros in patch 3
- Fix temporary leak when VMX/VSX not enabled in patches 4 and 5
- Add patch to remove AVR* macros, replacing them with Vsr* macros
- Drop patches converting logical, add and sub instructions to TCG vector ops (let
  Richard incorporate this into his TCG vector improvements patchset)

v2:
- Rebase onto master
- Add comment explaining rationale for FPR helpers in description for patch 1
- Add R-B tags from Richard
- Add patch 3 to delay AVR register writeback as spotted by Richard
- Add patches 6 and 7 to merge FPR, VMX and VSX registers into the vsr array
  to facilitate conversion of VSX instructions to vector operations later
- Fix accidental bug whereby the conversion of get_vsr()/set_vsr() to access
  data from cpu_env was incorrectly squashed into patch 3
- Move set_fpr() further down in gen_fsqrts() and gen_frsqrtes() in patch 1
