PowerPC: Extend Program Priority Register support
This patch adds extra inline functions to change the Program Priority
Register from ISA 2.07.
2015-08-19 Gabriel F. T. Gomes <gftg@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* sysdeps/powerpc/sys/platform/ppc.h (__ppc_set_ppr_med_high,
__ppc_set_ppr_very_low): New functions.
* manual/platform.texi: Add documentation about
__ppc_set_ppr_med_high and __ppc_set_ppr_very_low.
