KVM: PPC: Introduce branch patching helper
We will need to patch several instruction streams over to a different code path, so we need a way to patch a single instruction with a branch somewhere else. This patch adds a helper to facilitate this patching. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
