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

Just one neat below...

Thanks for the review.


[...]

-#ifndef CONFIG_PPC_8xx
- /* Do not emulate user-space instructions, instead single-step them */
- if (user_mode(regs)) {
- current->thread.last_hit_ubp = bp;
- regs->msr |= MSR_SE;
+ if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_8xx) && !stepping_handler(regs, bp, info->address))

May be split this line. It's 86 chars long and checkpatch.pl is warning
about this:

Didn't you use arch/powerpc/tools/checkpatch.sh ?

powerpc accepts 90 chars per line.
