The SPU context save/restore code is currently built
for a 4k page size and we provide a _shipped version
of it since most people don't have the spu toolchain
that is needed to rebuild that code.
This patch hardcodes the data structures to a 64k
page alignment, which also guarantees 4k alignment
but unfortunately wastes 60k of memory per SPU
context that is created in the running system.
We will follow up on this with another patch to
reduce that overhead or maybe redo the context
save/restore logic to do this part entirely different,
but for now it should make experimental systems
work with either page size.

Add some infrastructure for saving and restoring the context of an
SPE. This patch creates a new structure that can hold the whole
state of a physical SPE in memory. It also contains code that
avoids races during the context switch and the binary code that
is loaded to the SPU in order to access its registers.
The actual PPE- and SPE-side context switch code are two separate
patches.
