[Patch 3/5] PPC64-HWBKPT: Handle concurrent alignment interrupts

An alignment interrupt may intervene between a DSI/hw-breakpoint exception
and the single-step exception. Enable the alignment interrupt (through
modifications to emulate_single_step()) to notify the single-step exception
handler for proper restoration of hw-breakpoints.
