Subject[RFC] ppc64le: Enable emulation support for simple Load/Store instructions
Date
emulate_step() uses a number of underlying kernel functions that were
initially not enabled for LE. This has been rectified since. So, fix
emulate_step() for LE for the corresponding instructions.

Note: This patch only enables LOAD, STORE, LARX and STCX instructions.
I'll send a subsequent patch for other types like LOAD_FP,
LOAD_VMX etc.
