[PATCH v3 09/14] powerpc/xmon: Add initial support for prefixed instructions

A prefixed instruction is composed of a word prefix and a word suffix.
It does not make sense to be able to have a breakpoint on the suffix of
a prefixed instruction, so make this impossible.

When leaving xmon_core() we check to see if we are currently at a
breakpoint. If this is the case, the breakpoint needs to be proceeded
from. Initially emulate_step() is tried, but if this fails then we need
to execute the saved instruction out of line. The NIP is set to the
address of bpt::instr[] for the current breakpoint.  bpt::instr[]
contains the instruction replaced by the breakpoint, followed by a trap
instruction.  After bpt::instr[0] is executed and we hit the trap we
enter back into xmon_bpt(). We know that if we got here and the offset
indicates we are at bpt::instr[1] then we have just executed out of line
so we can put the NIP back to the instruction after the breakpoint
location and continue on.

Adding prefixed instructions complicates this as the bpt::instr[1] needs
to be used to hold the suffix. To deal with this make bpt::instr[] big
enough for three word instructions.  bpt::instr[2] contains the trap,
and in the case of word instructions pad bpt::instr[1] with a noop.

No support for disassembling prefixed instructions.

v2: Rename sufx to suffix
v3: - Just directly use PPC_INST_NOP
    - Typo: plac -> place
    - Rename read_inst() to mread_inst(). Do not have it call mread().
