[PATCH] powerpc: Implement PR_[GS]ET_UNALIGN prctls for powerpc
This gives the ability to control whether alignment exceptions get fixed up or reported to the process as a SIGBUS, using the existing PR_SET_UNALIGN and PR_GET_UNALIGN prctls. We do not implement the option of logging a message on alignment exceptions. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
