Thanks, Samuel!  LGTM.

Well, we will need to add a feature for ISA 2.07 (thanks for that fix,
btw) vector support before the direct move instructions can be used.
Currently FeatureVSX implies only ISA 2.06 support, which is all that's
been (partially) implemented at this point.  Probably something like
FeatureP8Vector to denote the changes to both VMX and VSX instructions
for 2.07.
