#     powerpc/64s: system call support for scv/rfscv instructions
#     
#     Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.
#     
#     For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical
#     to 'sc' system calls, with the exception that lr is not preserved, and
#     it is 64-bit only. There may yet be changes made to this ABI, so it's
#     for testing only.
#     
#     rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
#     be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
#     preserve lr.
#     
#     In a comparison of getpid syscall, the test program had scv taking
#     about 3 more cycles in user mode (92 vs 89 for sc), due to lr handling.
#     getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 33%, mostly due to
#     reducing mtmsr and mtspr.
