Changes in directory llvm/lib/Target/PowerPC:

PPCAsmPrinter.cpp updated: 1.150 -> 1.151
---
Log message:

If we have zero initialized data with external linkage, use .zerofill to
emit it (instead of .space), saving a bit of space in the .o file.

For example:
int foo[100];
int bar[100] = {};

when compiled with C++ or -fno-common results in shrinkage from 1160 to 360
bytes of space.  The X86 backend can also do this on darwin.
