RFR(L): 8049325: Introduce and clean up umbrella headers for the files in the cpu subdirectories

It also seems to me that these vmreg_ppc.hpp inline functions are 
special in that they are included directly in the class declaration, 
rather than the preferred separate class declaration.   So I think this 
doesn't follow the "rules" as such because this case is different.  It 
would be nice to clean out these includes in another cleanup pass.

I hit the same cycles on the closed part but didn't realize it was 
because of cycles.

Thanks,
Coleen
