powerpc: Add driver for Barrier Synchronization Register

Adds a character driver for BSR support on IBM POWER systems including
Power5 and Power6.  The BSR is an optional processor facility not currently
implemented by any other processors.  It's primary purpose is fast large SMP
synchronization.  More details on the BSR are in comments to the code which
follows.  This patch adds BSR driver to pseries_defconfig.

+/*
+ This driver exposes a special register which can be used for fast
+ synchronization across a large SMP machine.  The hardware is exposed
+ as an array of bytes where each process will write to one of the bytes to
+ indicate it has finished the current stage and this update is broadcast to
+ all processors without having to bounce a cacheline between them. In
+ POWER5 and POWER6 there is one of these registers per SMP,  but it is
+ presented in two forms; first, it is given as a whole and then as a number
+ of smaller registers which alias to parts of the single whole register.
+ This can potentially allow multiple groups of processes to each have their
+ own private synchronization device.
+
+ Note that this hardware *must* be written to using *only* single byte writes.
+ It may be read using 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte loads which must be aligned since
+ this region is treated as cache-inhibited  processes should also use a
+ full sync before and after writing to the BSR to ensure all stores and
+ the BSR update have made it to all chips in the system
