[PATCH 01/22] Add powerpc-specific clear_cacheline(), which just compiles to "dcbz".

[Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>]

From: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

This is horribly non-portable.  How much of a performance difference
does it make?  How does it do on ppc64 systems where the cacheline
size is not 32?
