PATCH 4/5 powerpc: Make syscall restart code more common

This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling syscall restart into a common signal-common.h file and converge around a single implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do.

The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use it's content.

I don't think this should be inlined. Just create a new signal.c file, which can grow a lot more common signal code later on aswell.

I've been thinking about doing that too. In fact, some of the ptrace-common.h stuff should probably be turned back into ptrace.c too for the same reason. I'm still toying with that part of the designm but yeah, I think that's something to do.

I think this makes sense for the ptrace code as well. Eventually we'll end up moving or supporting some of the 'features' that only exist on one platform or the other in both. I can see us supporting PTRACE_{GET,SET}_DEBUGREG on ppc32 and we'll need to support the BOOKE stuff on ppc64.

Yeah, I think having ptrace{,_32,_64}.c makes more sense as well.
