RFR (XL): 8019972: PPC64 (part 9): platform files for interpreter only VM.

Hi,

I updated the webrev once more. 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/webrevs/8019972-ppc_files/

 - I fixed encode_klass_not_null()
 - I cleaned up jni_ppc.h
 - added the guard in copy_ppc.hpp.

Further there were problems on aix.
I had to rename the condition code registers from CR0-7 to CCR0-7,
as CR0-3 is defined in an AIX system header.

David, can I mark the change as reviewed by you?

Best regards,
  Goetz.

PS. Seems src/cpu/ppc/vm/copy_ppc.hpp has the same issue. The atomic 
copies for jlong are only correct on 64-bit.

Is there other code in "bit-neutral" ppc files that is really only 
correct on 64-bit?

David
