lib/raid6/altivec: Add vpermxor implementation for raid6 Q syndrome

This patch uses the vpermxor instruction to optimise the raid6 Q
syndrome. This instruction was made available with POWER8, ISA version
2.07. It allows for both vperm and vxor instructions to be done in a
single instruction. This has been tested for correctness on a ppc64le
vm with a basic RAID6 setup containing 5 drives.

The performance benchmarks are from the raid6test in the
/lib/raid6/test directory. These results are from an IBM Firestone
machine with ppc64le architecture. The benchmark results show a 35%
speed increase over the best existing algorithm for powerpc (altivec).
The raid6test has also been run on a big-endian ppc64 vm to ensure it
also works for big-endian architectures.

Performance benchmarks:
raid6: altivecx4 gen() 18773 MB/s
raid6: altivecx8 gen() 19438 MB/s

raid6: vpermxor4 gen() 25112 MB/s
raid6: vpermxor8 gen() 26279 MB/s

RAID/s390: add SIMD implementation for raid6 gen/xor

Using vector registers is slightly faster:

raid6: vx128x8 gen() 19705 MB/s
raid6: vx128x8 xor() 11886 MB/s
raid6: using algorithm vx128x8 gen() 19705 MB/s
raid6: .... xor() 11886 MB/s, rmw enabled

vs the software algorithms:

raid6: int64x1 gen() 3018 MB/s
raid6: int64x1 xor() 1429 MB/s
raid6: int64x2 gen() 4661 MB/s
raid6: int64x2 xor() 3143 MB/s
raid6: int64x4 gen() 5392 MB/s
raid6: int64x4 xor() 3509 MB/s
raid6: int64x8 gen() 4441 MB/s
raid6: int64x8 xor() 3207 MB/s
raid6: using algorithm int64x4 gen() 5392 MB/s
raid6: .... xor() 3509 MB/s, rmw enabled

lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation

Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses
NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations.
It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several
unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected
at boot time.

Move .gitignore from drivers/md to lib/raid6

Another missing bit of the raid6 -> /lib move.
