[PATCH 10/11] powerpc: Add helper functions for synthesising instructions at runtime

[Michael Ellerman]

There's a few places already, and soon will be more, where we synthesise
branch instructions at runtime. Rather than doing it by hand in each case,
it would make sense to have one implementation.
