[10] RFR(L): 8185979: PPC64: Implement SHA2 intrinsic

[Doerr, Martin]

Hi Gustavo,

thank you for providing SHA2 acceleration. It basically looks good. I have also checked that it doesn't break the AIX build.
But I have very few change requests.

- The file name of the new file should end with _ppc.cpp.
- "this->" should be removed from branch instructions: this->b
- Why are you using Register references "const Register&"? That's not common.
- It would be nice to have Big Endian support if it doesn't take much effort. (I can assist with testing.)

Note: This change contains test changes, so a sponsor from Oracle is needed.

Best regards,
Martin

Hi,

Could you please review this specific PPC64 change to hotspot? By implementing this intrinsic I noticed a significant improvement when using SHA-2 (e.g: Sample run reduced 6.5s run to 2.8s for SHA256.)
