[PATCH] ppc32: Simplified load string emulation error checking
The error checking for emulation of load string instructions was overly generous and would cause certain valid forms of the instructions to be treated as illegal. We drop the range checking since the architecture allows this to be boundedly undefined. Tests on CPUs that support these instructions appear not do cause illegal instruction traps on range errors and just allow the execution to occur. Thanks to Kim Phillips for debugging this and figuring out what real HW was doing.
