[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.
