Subject: [PATCH 0/2] powerpc32: optimisation of csum_partial_copy_generic()

This patch optimises csum_partial_copy_generic() by making use of cache
instructions (dcbt/dcbz) just like copy_tofrom_user() does

On a TCP benchmark using socklib on the loopback interface on which checksum
offload and scatter/gather have been deactivated, we get about 20% performance
increase.

  powerpc32: checksum_wrappers_64 becomes checksum_wrappers
  powerpc32: rewrite of csum_partial_copy_generic based of copy_tofrom_user
