	powerpc: 64bit optimised __clear_user
I noticed __clear_user high up in a profile of one of my RAID stress tests. The testcase was doing a dd from /dev/zero which ends up calling __clear_user. __clear_user is basically a loop with a single 4 byte store which is horribly slow. We can do much better by aligning the desination and doing 32 bytes of 8 byte stores in a loop. The following testcase was used to verify the patch: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/stress_clear_user.c To show the improvement in performance I ran a dd from /dev/zero to /dev/null on a POWER7 box: Before: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 3.72379 s, 2.8 GB/s After: # time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 0.728318 s, 14.4 GB/s Over 5x faster.
