[PATCH 2/3] kvm-userspace: kvmppc: fix hostlonbits detection when cross compiling

[ehrhardt-23VcF4HTsmIX0ybBhKVfKdBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org]

From: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt-23VcF4HTsmIX0ybBhKVfKdBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org>

The kvm merge with qemu brought code for 64bit power that broke cross
compilation. The issue is caused by configure trying to execute target
architecture binaries where configure is executed.

I tried to change that detection so that it works with&without cross
compilation with only a small change and especially without an addtional
configure command line switch. Including the bits/wordsize.h header a platform
usually can check its wordsize and by doing that configure can check the
hostlongbits without executing the binary. Instead it now stops after
preprocessing stage which resolved the __WORDSIZE constant and retrieves
that value.

I don't like that check style, but it is at least less broken than before.
Comments and other approaches welcome.
