Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/9] powerpc: allocate sys_membarrier system call number

Allow it to be used from SPU, since it should not have unwanted
side-effects.

[ Untested on this architecture. To try it out: fetch linux-next/akpm,
  apply this patch, build/run a membarrier-enabled kernel, and do make
  kselftest. ]
