[POWERPC] cell: wrap master run control bit

Add platform specific SPU run control routines to the spufs.  The current
spufs implementation uses the SPU master run control bit (MFC_SR1[S]) to
control SPE execution, but the PS3 hypervisor does not support the use of
this feature.

This change adds the run control wrapper routies spu_enable_spu() and
spu_disable_spu().  The bare metal routines use the master run control
bit, and the PS3 specific routines use the priv2 run control register.

An outstanding enhancement for the PS3 would be to add a guard to check
for incorrect access to the spu problem state when the spu context is
disabled.  This check could be implemented with a flag added to the spu
context that would inhibit mapping problem state pages, and a routine
to unmap spu problem state pages.  When the spu is enabled with
ps3_enable_spu() the flag would be set allowing pages to be mapped,
and when the spu is disabled with ps3_disable_spu() the flag would be
cleared and mapped problem state pages would be unmapped.
