[Devel] [RFC v14-rc3][PATCH 28/36] powerpc: provide APIs for validating and updating DABR

From: Nathan Lynch <ntl at pobox.com>

A checkpointed task image may specify a value for the DABR (Data
Access Breakpoint Register).  The restart code needs to validate this
value before making any changes to the current task.

ptrace_set_debugreg encapsulates the bounds checking and platform
dependencies of programming the DABR.  Split this into "validate"
(debugreg_valid) and "update" (debugreg_update) functions, and make
them available for use outside of the ptrace code.

Also ptrace_set_debugreg has extern linkage, but no users outside of
ptrace.c.  Make it static.
