[PATCH 2/2 v5] powerpc/kvm: common sw breakpoint instr across ppc

This patch extends the use of illegal instruction as software
breakpoint instruction across the ppc platform. Patch extends
booke program interrupt code to support software breakpoint.

Patch is only compile tested. Will really help if
someone can try it out and let me know comments.
