[PATCH 2/2] Detect 64-bit-ness in PowerPC Book III-E


This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly.  We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor.  Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E.  This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E.  In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP,
because it should an invariant on the same machine cross different
processes.

In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.  Note that this patch only adds ppc-linux.o to
NATDEPFILES in config/powerpc/ppc64-linux.mh, but doesn't add
ppc-linux.o to NATDEPFILES in config/powerpc/linux.mh, because
ppc-linux.o is only needed for ppc64-linux so far.  Once we add
functions for ppc32-linux target in ppc-linux.c in the future,
we can add ppc-linux.o to config/powerpc/linux.mh.
