On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when
it is triggered.

When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault.  And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step().  This disallows kprobes on both of them.

This moves the cpm2 common code and PIC stuff to the powerpc. Most of the files
were just copied from ppc/, with minor tuning to make it compile, and, subsequently, work.

If we build a pSeries/iSeries combined kernel, we will need this.

As pointed out by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>, our
memcpy implementation didn't return the destination pointer as its
return value, and there is code in the kernel that expects that.
This fixes it.

The ASCII -> EBCDIC functions, e2a() and strne2a() are now only used in
dt.c, so move them in there.
