[PATCH v2] powerpc: slightly improve cache helpers

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Fri May 10 2019 - 05:26:20 EST


Cache instructions (dcbz, dcbi, dcbf and dcbst) take two registers
that are summed to obtain the target address. Using 'Z' constraint
and '%y0' argument gives GCC the opportunity to use both registers
instead of only one with the second being forced to 0.
