K.Prasad 5aae8a5370 powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Implement hw_breakpoints for 64-bit server processors
Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC
64-bit server (Book III S) processors.  This allows access to a
given location to be used as an event that can be counted or
profiled by the perf_events subsystem.

This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can
also be used for process debugging via ptrace.  When perf_event
hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem
manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then
creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.

[Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to
- emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the
  per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through
  arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()
]
