Introduce the first cut of the Linuxulator for powerpc64. This was a
GSoC project for 2022, and consists of the following:
- Big-endian powerpc64
- ELFv1
- Limited shared page (no timekeep)
- Most, if not all, syscalls are implemented, all common ones, no arch-specific ones.
At completion of the GSoC period this was able to run through the LTP
test suite, with a very high pass rate. More work remains, as always,
and will be done as needed.
Further work is still necessary, but this lays the groundwork. Expected
future work includes:
- ELFv2
- powerpc64le
- 32-bit support (running legacy Linux applications)
