    powerpc: Extended ptrace interface
    
    From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    
    Based on patches originally written by Torez Smith.
    
    Add a new extended ptrace interface so that user-space has a single
    interface for powerpc, without having to know the specific layout
    of the debug registers.
    
    Implement:
    PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDEBUGINFO
    PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG
    PPC_PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG
