[8u60] request for approval: 8080190: PPC64: Fix wrong rotate instructions in the .ad file

[Rob McKenna]

Hi Volker,

You can push directly to the hotspot team repo. It will make 8u60 
assuming you push before RDP 2.

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/releases/8u60.html

You should have committer access to that repo. Let us know if not.
