[V3 07/10] powerpc, lib: Add new branch instruction analysis support functions

Wed Oct 16 17:56:54 EST 2013


Generic powerpc branch instruction analysis support added in the code
patching library which will help the subsequent patch on SW based
filtering of branch records in perf. This patch also converts and
exports some of the existing local static functions through the header
file to be used else where.
