Yeah, makes sense. I initially added CONFIG_PPC64 check because
I was using ppc_inst_prefix(x, y) macro which is not available
for !CONFIG_PPC64.

Prefixed instructions would be supported only when ARCH_31 is set.
(Ignoring insane scenario where user probes on prefixed instruction
on p10 predecessors). So I guess I still need ARCH_31 check?
