* powerpc: Add the lock elision using HTMAdhemerval Zanella2015-01-121-0/+28
This patch adds support for lock elision using ISA 2.07 hardware transactional memory instructions for pthread_mutex primitives. Similar to s390 version, the for elision logic defined in 'force-elision.h' is only enabled if ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION is defined. Also, the lock elision code should be able to be built even with a compiler that does not provide HTM support with builtins. However I have noted the performance is sub-optimal due scheduling pressures.
