[POWERPC] add support for stopping spus from xmon
This patch adds support for stopping, and restarting, spus from xmon. We use the spu master runcntl bit to stop execution, this is apparently the "right" way to control spu execution and spufs will be changed in the future to use this bit. Testing has shown that to restart execution we have to turn the master runcntl bit on and also rewrite the spu runcntl bit, even if it is already set to 1 (running). Stopping spus is triggered by the xmon command 'ss' - "spus stop" perhaps. Restarting them is triggered via 'sr'. Restart doesn't start execution on spus unless they were running prior to being stopped by xmon. Walking the spu->full_list in xmon after a panic, would mean corruption of any spu struct would make all the others inaccessible. To avoid this, and also to make the next patch easier, we cache pointers to all spus during boot. We attempt to catch and recover from errors while stopping and restarting the spus, but as with most xmon functionality there are no guarantees that performing these operations won't crash xmon itself.
