[RFC patch 13/27] Add text_poke and sync_core to powerpc

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

[-- Attachment #1: add-text-poke-and-sync-core-to-powerpc.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1461 bytes --]

- Needed on architectures where we must surround live instruction modification
  with "WP flag disable".
- Turns into a memcpy on powerpc since there is no WP flag activated for
  instruction pages (yet..).
- Add empty sync_core to powerpc so it can be used in architecture independent
  code.
