[PATCH] ppc32: emulate load/store string instructions

Andrew,

Some Book-E implementations (e500) do not implement the userland 
load/store string instructions.  Apparently these instructions are rather 
painful to implement do to the fact that they modify the destination 
register differently then ever other instruction.  Matt did the inital 
work some time ago, and I finally got around to cleaning it up.
