This patch adds the support that can be used in developing GCC support
for potential future PowerPC processors.
These changes are being added so that hardware designers can evaluate
potential new features to be added to the PowerPC processors in the
future. It may be these features will be incorporated into real
hardware using a different name in the future. Or it may be these
features will not be incoporated into actual PowerPC hardware in the
future.
At the moment, I have not added a new processor, and I'm using the
power11 for tuning defaults and such. When we are ready to add new
tuning rules a potential future processor, we will add the support for
the new processor.
I have tested these patches on both big endian and little endian
PowerPC servers, with no regressions. Can I check these patchs into
the trunk?

gcc/
* config/rs6000/rs6000-c.cc (rs6000_target_modify_macros): If
-mcpu=future, define _ARCH_FUTURE.
* config/rs6000/rs6000-cpus.def (FUTURE_MASKS_SERVER): New macro.
(POWERPC_MASKS): Add OPTION_MASK_FUTURE.
(future cpu): Add 'future' cpu.
* config/rs6000/rs6000-tables.opt: Regenerate.
* config/rs6000/rs6000.opt (-mfuture-internal): New internal option to
indicate the user used -mcpu=future.
gcc/testsuite/
* gcc.target/powerpc/future-1.c: New test.
* gcc.target/powerpc/future-2.c: Likewise.
