Description

To increase performance on ppc64 machines, the MACRO "powerpc64" were specified for the architecture, just like for x86_64 machines.

I've executed some benchmarks, see below:

Benchmark               Before (milliseconds)   After (milliseconds)    Percentage difference
bm_vm2_regexp.rb        4955                    4752                    -4,10%
bm_so_meteor_contest.rb 6065                    5817                    -4,09%
bm_app_pentomino.rb     35122                   34886                   -0,67%
bm_hash_flatten.rb      3055                    3011                    -1,44%
bm_so_sieve.rb          1227                    1210                    -1,39%

Yes, I have tested in my IBM POWER 7+ (rev 2.1)

Thank you.
Possibly, can PACKED_STRUCT_UNALIGNED also work on PowerPC64?
