[PATCH v6 4/7] Powerpc/Watchpoint: Don't ignore extraneous exceptions blindly

[Ravi Bangoria]

On Powerpc, watchpoint match range is double-word granular. On a
watchpoint hit, DAR is set to the first byte of overlap between
actual access and watched range. And thus it's quite possible that
DAR does not point inside user specified range. Ex, say user creates
a watchpoint with address range 0x1004 to 0x1007. So hw would be
configured to watch from 0x1000 to 0x1007. If there is a 4 byte
access from 0x1002 to 0x1005, DAR will point to 0x1002 and thus
interrupt handler considers it as extraneous, but it's actually not,
because part of the access belongs to what user has asked.

Instead of blindly ignoring the exception, get actual address range
by analysing an instruction, and ignore only if actual range does
not overlap with user specified range.

Note: The behavior is unchanged for 8xx.
