Pretty much everyone uses "__attribute__" or "attribute", no one
uses "__attribute".  This patch tweaks the three places in asm-powerpc where
this comes up.  While only asm-powerpc/types.h is interesting (for userspace),
I did asm-powerpc/processor.h as well for consistency.

If the code is not exported to userspace (and thus not subject to different
compilers), I think the preferred form is plain `attribute'.
