Dr. David Alan Gilbert 0ebc7feae7 powerpc: Use shared font data 
PowerPC has a 'btext' font used for the console which is almost identical
to the shared font_sun8x16, so use it rather than duplicating the data.

They were actually identical until about a decade ago when
   commit bcfbeecea1 ("drivers: console: font_: Change a glyph from
                        "broken bar" to "vertical line"")

which changed the | in the shared font to be a solid
bar rather than a broken bar.  That's the only difference.

This was originally spotted by the PMF source code analyser, which
noticed that sparc does the same thing with the same data, and they
also share a bunch of functions to manipulate the data.  I've previously
posted a near identical patch for sparc.

Tested very lightly with a boot without FS in qemu.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
