[POWERPC] spufs: allow isolated mode apps by starting the SPE loader
This patch adds general support for isolated mode SPE apps. Isolated apps are started indirectly, by a dedicated loader "kernel". This patch starts the loader when spe_create is invoked with the ISOLATE flag. We do this at spe_create time to allow libspe to pass the isolated app in before calling spe_run. The loader is read from the device tree, at the location "/spu-isolation/loader". If the loader is not present, an attempt to start an isolated SPE binary will fail with -ENODEV. Update: loader needs to be correctly aligned - copy to a kmalloced buf. Update: remove workaround for systemsim/spurom 'L-bit' bug, which has been fixed. Update: don't write to runcntl on spu_run_init: SPU is already running. Update: do spu_setup_isolated earlier Tested on systemsim.
