powerpc: Send SIGBUS on unaligned copy and paste

Calling ISA 3.0 instructions copy, copy_first, paste and paste_last generates an alignment fault when copying or pasting unaligned data (128 byte). We catch this and send SIGBUS to the userspace process that caused it. We do not emulate these because paste may contain additional metadata when pasting to a co-processor and paste_last is the synchronisation point for preceding copy/paste sequences. Thanks to Michael Neuling <[email protected]> for his help. Signed-off-by: Chris Smart <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <[email protected]>
