Merge ppc port into jdk7u-dev

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Andrew :),

sorry, I don't understand.

This will give you most of the changes we did without openJdk bugid.
Just the ones Andrew Ha. doesn't want at all as I understand. 
You will have to do some meaningful merges, without being able
to build, as, e.g., Better Byte Behaviour will be missing.

If you form the diffs you have after the merge into a new 
changeset and submit that to  jdk7u/jdk7u, you still can't
pull the remaining changes for the port.  The ones without bugid
still will come along.
If you do all of them individually on top this really is a major effort.
You would have 
  1.) to find all changes in ppc-aix-port and not in jdk7u/jdk7u
  2.) export all of them
  3.) select a useful order of them
  4.) edit the patches so they reflect the changes done in merges
  5.) submit them to jdk7u/jdk7u

If you have all these you can make a patch queue and do a test build, 
and then move the fixes required to the proper patches.  

Hmmm... sounds like quite some work.

How long will the CPU keep you busy?

And ... probably 6f0b8f13db4d, "New files for template interpreter." should be used.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
