PPC: Use r2 instead of r29 as global data pointer
R29 was an unlucky choice as with recent toolchains (gcc-4.2.x) gcc
will refuse to use load/store multiple insns; instead, it issues a
list of simple load/store instructions upon function entry and exit,
resulting in bigger code size, which in turn makes the build for a
few boards fail.
Use r2 instead.

2. The pointer to the jump table is passed to the application in a
machine-dependent way. PowerPC, ARM and MIPS architectures use a
dedicated register to hold the pointer to the 'global_data'
- structure: r29 on PowerPC, r8 on ARM and k0 on MIPS. The x86
+ structure: r2 on PowerPC, r8 on ARM and k0 on MIPS. The x86
architecture does not use such a register; instead, the pointer to
the 'global_data' structure is passed as 'argv[-1]' pointer.
