Powerpc qemu support ROUGH DRAFT

These patches add powerpc embedded qemu code needed for Powerpc KVM. This is an extreme working draft,as we are working out bugs and still bringing things up.

Your going to need a couple of things:
1) cross tools with powerpc 440 compiler (this is assuming your not using a power machine)
2) version of zlib-1.2.3 compiled for powerpc
3) kvm kernel source with powerpc enablements that is compiled
- you will need patches recently sent to list by Hollis Blanchard

Here is an example of how to configure kvm-userspace:

./configure --arch=powerpc --cross-prefix=powerpc-440-linux-gnu- --with-patched-kernel --kerneldir=/home/jerone/work/kvmppc.hg/ --disable-sdl --disable-vnc-tls --disable-gfx-check --disable-gcc-check --qemu-cflags="-I/home/jerone/work/zlib-1.2.3 -I/home/jerone/work/kvmppc.hg/include/" --qemu-ldflags="-L/home/jerone/work/zlib-1.2.3/" --static

The executable will be:
kvm-userspace/qemu/ppcemb-softmmu/qemu-system-ppcemb

Also in this do not to not use qemu command -m option.
