Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/sstep: Fix incorrect return from analyze_instr()
We currently just percolate the return value from analyze_instr() to the caller of emulate_step(), especially if it is a -1.
For one particular case (opcode = 4) for instructions that aren't currently emulated, we are returning 'should not be single-stepped' while we should have returned 0 which says 'did not emulate, may have to single-step'.
