Changes from v1:
- Add Acked-by lines.

The powerpc toolchain keeps a copy of the HWCAP bit masks in our TCB for fast
access by the __builtin_cpu_supports built-in function.  The TCB space for
the HWCAP entries - which are created in pairs - is an ABI extension, so
waiting to create the space for HWCAP3 and HWCAP4 until we need them is
problematical.  Define AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4 in the generic uapi header
so they can be used in glibc to reserve space in the powerpc TCB for their
future use.

Applied to powerpc/next.
