RFR(L): 8036976: PPC64: implement the template interpreter

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi Goetz,

Should you also check for ppc64le?:

ifeq ($(ARCH), ppc64)
   FORCE_TIERED=0

Please, update year in Oracle copyright line in new files:

Copyright (c) 1997, 2010, Oracle

to

Copyright (c) 2014, Oracle

I know that you copied and modified from our existing files but HG 
history does not show it anyway and they all looks new. We should have 
done it for all ppc files but it is different issue.

These changes passed JPRT build with our closed sources.

Thanks,
Vladimir
