[PATCH 1/2] [hw-breakpoint] Use generic hw-breakpoint interfaces for new PPC ptrace flags

PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO, PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and PPC_PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG are
PowerPC specific ptrace flags that use the watchpoint register. While they are
targeted primarily towards BookE users, user-space applications such as GDB
have started using them for BookS too.
This patch enables the use of generic hardware breakpoint interfaces for these
new flags. The version number of the associated data structures
"ppc_hw_breakpoint" and "ppc_debug_info" is incremented to denote new semantics.
Apart from the usual benefits of using generic hw-breakpoint interfaces, these
changes allow debuggers (such as GDB) to use a common set of ptrace flags for
their watchpoint needs and allow more precise breakpoint specification (length
of the variable can be specified).
[Edjunior: Identified an issue in the patch with the sanity check for version
numbers]
