[PATCH] ppc64: kprobes: handle trap variants while processing probes

Hi,

While processing a kprobe, we were currently not handling all available 
trap variants available on PowerPC. This lead to the breakage of BUG()
handling in ppc64.

Here is a patch to fix the issue. Please apply.

Thanks,
Ananth
