[PATCH v8 1/6] powerpc: Allow clearing and restoring registers independent of saved breakpoint state

[Benjamin Gray]

From: Jordan Niethe <jniethe5 at gmail.com>

For the coming temporary mm used for instruction patching, the
breakpoint registers need to be cleared to prevent them from
accidentally being triggered. As soon as the patching is done, the
breakpoints will be restored. The breakpoint state is stored in the per
cpu variable current_brk[]. Add a pause_breakpoints() function which will
clear the breakpoint registers without touching the state in
current_bkr[]. Add a pair function unpause_breakpoints() which will move
the state in current_brk[] back to the registers.
