WARNING: struct kgdb_arch should normally be const
#127: FILE: arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c:480:
+struct kgdb_arch arch_kgdb_ops;
But when I add 'const', I get compilation failure

This patch creates powerpc specific version of
kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint()
using patch_instruction()
