8c77391475 powerpc: Add 64bit csum_and_copy_to_user
This adds the equivalent of csum_and_copy_from_user for the receive side so we
can copy and checksum in one pass. It is modelled on the generic checksum
routine.

fdd374b62c powerpc: Optimise 64bit csum_partial_copy_generic and add csum_and_copy_from_user
We use the same core loop as the new csum_partial, adding in the
stores and exception handling code. To keep things simple we do all the
exception fixup in csum_and_copy_from_user. This wrapper function is
modelled on the generic checksum code and is careful to always calculate
a complete checksum even if we only copied part of the data to userspace.

To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a
simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 19% with
this patch. If I forced both the sender and receiver onto the same cpu
(with the hope of shifting the benchmark from being cache bandwidth limited
to cpu limited), adding this patch improved performance by 55%

b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
