This adds a set of test cases to test the behaviour of
copy_tofrom_user when exceptions are encountered accessing the
source or destination. Currently, copy_tofrom_user does not always
copy as many bytes as possible when an exception occurs on a store
to the destination, and that is reflected in failures in these tests.
Based on a test program from Anton Blanchard.

The hand-coded assembler 64-bit copy routines include feature sections
that select one code path or another depending on which CPU we are
executing on. The self-tests for these copy routines end up testing
just one path. This adds a mechanism for selecting any desired code
path at compile time, and makes 2 or 3 versions of each test, each
using a different code path, so as to cover all the possible paths.

This patch includes all of the powerpc test binaries into the .gitignore
file listing in their respective directories. This will make sure that
git ignores all of these test binaries when displaying status.
