[RFC PATCH v1 13/13] powerpc/hw_breakpoint: move instruction stepping out of hw_breakpoint_handler()

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Jun 25 2019 - 06:58:38 EST


On 8xx, breakpoints stop after executing the instruction, so
stepping/emulation is not needed. Move it into a sub-function and
remove the #ifdefs.
