RFR (M): 8035647 : PPC64: Support for elf v2 abi.

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Alexander,

Please, run jcheck on your changes.


src/cpu/ppc/vm/cppInterpreter_ppc.cpp:1302: Tab character
src/cpu/ppc/vm/macroAssembler_ppc.hpp:322: Trailing whitespace
src/cpu/ppc/vm/stubGenerator_ppc.cpp:1708: Trailing whitespace

I will do clean up this time. But next time I will not accept such changes.

Thanks,
Vladimir
