Merge ppc port into jdk7u-dev

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi,

so I open a bug "PPC/AIX port for jdk7u" and description
"This change contains all changes for the ppc port from ppc-aix-port/jdk7u"
and just patch in all the diffs?

If I do this this week, is there a chance I can push this by 28.7.? 
I'm on leave after that for 3 weeks.

Best regards,
 Goetz.
