There are three architectures with function descriptors, try to
have common names for the address they contain in order to
refactor some functions into generic functions later.
powerpc has 'entry'
ia64 has 'ip'
parisc has 'addr'
Vote for 'addr' and update 'func_descr_t' accordingly.
Move it in asm/elf.h to have it at the same place on all
three architectures, remove the typedef which hides its real
type, and change it to a smoother name 'struct func_desc'.

'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but
in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever.
Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in
memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct
ppc_inst *'.
It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.

In ppc_function_entry() we look for a specific set of instructions by
masking the instructions and comparing with a known value. Currently
those known values are just literal hex values, and we recently
discovered one of them was wrong.
Instead construct the values using the existing constants we have for
defining various fields of instructions.

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.
However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.
Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start
using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32. A
macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements.
Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type
that can represent prefixed instructions.

create_branch(), create_cond_branch() and translate_branch() return the
instruction that they create, or return 0 to signal an error. Separate
these concerns in preparation for an instruction type that is not just
an unsigned int. Fill the created instruction to a pointer passed as
the first parameter to the function and use a non-zero return value to
signify an error.

Add a macro and some helper C functions for patching single asm
instructions.
The gas macro means we can do something like:
1: nop
patch_site 1b, patch__foo
Which is less visually distracting than defining a GLOBAL symbol at 1,
and also doesn't pollute the symbol table which can confuse eg. perf.
These are obviously similar to our existing feature sections, but are
not automatically patched based on CPU/MMU features, rather they are
designed to be manually patched by C code at some arbitrary point.

feature fixups need to use patch_instruction() early in the boot,
even before the code is relocated to its final address, requiring
patch_instruction() to use PTRRELOC() in order to address data.
But feature fixups applies on code before it is set to read only,
even for modules. Therefore, feature fixups can use
raw_patch_instruction() instead.
