powerpc/process: Fix altivec SPR not being saved
In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test: if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC))) t->vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE); CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test is equivilent to: if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) && cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE)) On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore, but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used in several code paths.
