3.13.11.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>

commit dd58a092c4202f2bd490adab7285b3ff77f8e467 upstream.

The Vector Crypto category instructions are supported by current POWER8
chips, advertise them to userspace using a specific bit to properly
differentiate with chips of the same architecture level that might not
have them.
