Re: [rfa/ppc64] Only map descriptors to code addresses

This patch modifies ppc64's convert_from_func_ptr_addr so that it only converts a descriptor to the code address when it's sure it's got a descriptor. This way, of the function gets fed a random address, it doesn't map it onto something even more random - I encountered this when trying to debug "break main" with only a minimal symbol table.

This also makes the behavior consistent with the ia64.

ok?

	* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc64_linux_convert_from_func_ptr_addr): Only
	convert a descriptor to a function when it's in the ".opd"
	section.


This sounds reasonable.

I've checked this in.
