Add 64 and 128 bit members to __vector128 struct in order to allow reading of the complete value, or the higher or lower part of vector register contents instead of having to use casts. Add an explicit __aligned(4) statement to avoid that the alignment of the structure changes from 4 to 8. This should make sure that no breakage happens because of this change.

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.
