 Log Message:
 - In vec_restore_from_mcontext() and vec_save_to_mcontext(), allows the
   mcontext argument to be NULL.
 - In sendsig_sigcontext(), don't set PSL_VEC in the saved MSR; we can't
   actually round-trip the AltiVec registers.  At least get them saved
   into the PCB by calling vec_save_to_mcontext() (with a NULL mcontext
   argument).
 - In compat_16_sys___sigreturn14(), call vec_restore_from_mcontext()
   with a NULL mcontext argument, which will force any subsequent use
   of AltiVec to re-load the AltiVec registers from the PCB.
 
 This isn't ideal, but it's the best we can do with the limited capability
 of sigcontext.
