[rfc] Simplify ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address

["Ulrich Weigand" <uweigand at de dot ibm dot com>]

Hello,

this is another patch to simplify powerpc64-linux code.  We used to 
handle minimal symbols pointing to function descriptors by installing
a ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address routine.  This always had
a number of unpleasant side effects, for example it broke prologue
skipping, and it tended to print out annoying warning messages.

With my recent changes to handle function descriptors directly in
linespec.c:minsym_found, the underlying problem is already handled
(and without those side effects) before we ever get into the last-
ditch adjust_breakpoint_address code, so this no longer has any
effect.

Thus I'd propose to remove that code.  Any objections?

Tested on powerpc64-linux with no change in behaviour.

Thanks,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_init_abi): Do not install
	ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address.
	* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address): Remove.
	* ppc-tdep.h (ppc64_sysv_abi_adjust_breakpoint_address): Remove.
