[PATCH 04/11 v2] powerpc/fsl: Emulate SPRN_BUCSR register

[Diana Craciun]

In order to flush the branch predictor the guest kernel
performs writes to the BUCSR register which is hypervisor
privilleged. However, the branch predictor is flushed at
each KVM entry, so the branch predictor has been already
flushed, so just return as soon as possible to guest.
