[PATCH] ppc64: catch branch to 0 in real mode

We have been debugging some strange fails where we branch to 0 in real
mode. At the moment this results in the cpu running through the
initialisation code and failing somewhere well into it.

The following patch uses the featuring nop'ing code to remove the branch
at real address 0 so it falls through to a trap instruction and gets
caught early.
