powerpc: Add PPC_NOP_INSTR, a hash define for the preferred nop instruction
A bunch of code has hard-coded the value for a "nop" instruction, it would be nice to have a #define for it. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Acked-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
