RFR(S) JDK-8181810 PPC64: Leverage extrdi for bitfield extract

[Matthew Brandyberry]

Apologies for the bad cut-and-paste job.. the body of this review 
request should
read as follows:

This is a PPC-specific hotspot optimization that leverages the extrdi 
instruction
for bitfield extract operations (shift-right and mask-with-and). It 
yields a
~25% improvement measured via a microbenchmark.

Please review:

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gromero/8181810/v1/

Thanks,
Matt
