[POWERPC] Add support for FP emulation for the e300c2 core
The e300c2 has no FPU. Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero. If an attempt
is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point
load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point
unavailable interrupt.
This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a
new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are
intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for
correct emulation handling.
(If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding
support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead)
It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.
