[PATCH V7 4/8] powerpc, ptrace: Enable vr_(get/set) for transactional memory

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Wed Jan 14 2015 - 02:09:38 EST


This patch enables the vr_get which gets the running value of all
the VMX registers and the vr_set which sets the running value of
of all the VMX registers to accommodate in transaction ptrace
interface based requests.
