 task_pt_regs() macro defines pt_regs for the given task,  this macro is  
currently not defined for powerpc arch. We need this macro for 
upcoming utrace features. 
 Below attached patch  defines this macro for powerpc arch. Please let 
me know your comments on this.

+#define task_pt_regs(tsk)	((struct pt_regs *)(tsk)->thread.regs)

The cast is unnecessary since tsk->thread.regs is already a struct
pt_regs *.  Also note that tsk->thread.regs will be NULL for a kernel
thread.

Hrm.. I stuck that one in powerpc master, but not yet in next. Wonder if
I should back it out, sounds like a minor issue.
