This commit is preparatory to the addition of Branch History
Rolling Buffer (BHRB) functionality, which is being provided
today starting with the P8 processor.
BHRB uses several SPR register fields to control whether or not
a branch instruction's address (and sometimes target address)
should be recorded. Checking each of these fields with each
branch instruction using jitted code would lead to a significant
decrease in performance.
Therefore, it was decided that BHRB configuration bits that are
not expected to change frequently should have their state summarized
in an hflag so that the amount of checking done by jitted code can
be reduced.
This commit contains the changes for summarizing the state of the
following register fields in the HFLAGS_BHRB_ENABLE hflag:
MMCR0[FCP] - Determines if BHRB recording is frozen in the
problem state
MMCR0[FCPC] - A modifier for MMCR0[FCP]
MMCRA[BHRBRD] - Disables all BHRB recording for a thread
