[PATCH] powerpc: fix altivec_unavailable_exception Oopses
altivec_unavailable_exception is called without setting r3... it looks like the r3 that actually gets passed in as struct pt_regs *regs is the undisturbed value of r3 at the time the altivec instruction was encountered. The user actually gets to choose the pt_regs printed in the Oops! This fixes the oops by passing the correct pt_regs pointer to altivec_unavailable_exception.
