powerpc: Use bytes instead of bitops in smp ipi multiplexing

Since there are only 4 messages, we can replace the atomic bit set
(which uses atomic load reserve and store conditional sequence) with
a byte stores to seperate bytes.  We still have to perform a load
reserve and store conditional sequence to avoid loosing messages on
reception but we can do that with a single call to xchg.

The do {} while and __BIG_ENDIAN specific mask testing was chosen by
looking at the generated asm code.  On gcc-4.4, the bit masking becomes
a simple bit mask and test of the register returned from xchg without
storing and loading the value to the stack like attempts with a union
of bytes and an int (or worse, loading single bit constants from the
constant pool into non-voliatle registers that had to be preseved on
the stack).  The do {} while avoids an unconditional branch to the
end of the loop to test the entry / repeat condition of a while loop
and instead optimises for the expected single iteration of the loop.

We have a full mb() at the beginning to cover ordering between send,
ipi, and receive so we can use xchg_local and forgo the further
acquire and release barriers of xchg.
