PPC_INTERRUPT_EBB is a new interrupt that will be used to deliver EBB
exceptions that had to be postponed because the thread wasn't in problem
state at the time the event-based branch was supposed to occur.
ISA 3.1 also defines two EBB exceptions: Performance Monitor EBB
exception and External EBB exception. They are being added as
POWERPC_EXCP_PERFM_EBB and POWERPC_EXCP_EXTERNAL_EBB.
PPC_INTERRUPT_EBB will check BESCR bits to see the EBB type that
occurred and trigger the appropriate exception. Both exceptions are
doing the same thing in this first implementation: clear BESCR_GE and
enter the branch with env->nip retrieved from SPR_EBBHR.
The checks being done by the interrupt code are msr_pr and BESCR_GE
states. All other checks (EBB facility check, BESCR_PME bit, specific
bits related to the event type) must be done beforehand.
