v3: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2019-July/193339.html

v3->v4:
 - Instead of considering exception as extraneous when dar is outside of
   user specified range, analyse the instruction and check for overlap
   between user specified range and actual load/store range.
 - Add selftest for the same in perf-hwbreak.c
 - Make ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest more strict by checking address in
   check_success.
 - Support for 8xx in ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest (Build tested only)
 - Rebase to powerpc/next

@Christope, Can you please check Patch 5. I've just build-tested it
with ep88xc_defconfig.

  Powerpc/Watchpoint: Don't ignore extraneous exceptions blindly
  Powerpc/Watchpoint: Rewrite ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest
  Powerpc/Watchpoint: Add dar outside test in perf-hwbreak.c selftest
