[PATCH 3/21] spufs: Add support for SPU single stepping

This patch adds support for SPU single stepping. The single
step bit is set in the SPU when the current process is
being single-stepped via ptrace. The spu then stops and
returns with a specific flag set and the syscall exit code
will generate the SIGTRAP.
