[PATCH] D39016: Add Percent Symbol In PPC Registers for Linux

If what we want is to name the registers with the percent sign prefix on all non-AIX, non-Darwin systems, why not just change the definitions in the .td files to include the prefix? That way you don't have to worry about this kind of hacky/leaky code to prepend the symbol to the register names. And on AIX/Darwin, we just strip the full prefix (percent symbol and letter). Considering that it is questionable whether LLVM will ever have full support on AIX and that Darwin support is likely to be pulled soon, this seems like the best choice.

Of course, we'd then need to decide how we want to print the CR registers (i.e. if we want to have the ability to print them the way binutils tools print them - `4*cr4+gt`, etc.)
