target/hppa: Fix boot with old Linux installation CDs 

The current qemu hppa emulation emulates a PA1.1 CPU, which can only execute
the 32-bit instruction set. For unknown 64-bit instructions, a instruction trap
is sent to the virtual CPU.
This behaviour is correct in the sense that we emulate what the PA1.1
specification says.

But when trying to boot older Linux installation images, e.g.
ftp://parisc.parisc-linux.org/debian-cd/debian-5.0/lenny-5.0.10-hppa-iso-cd/cdimage.debian.org/debian-5010-hppa-netinst.iso
one finds that qemu fails to boot those images.
The problem is, that in the Linux kernel (e.g. 2.6.26) of those old images
64-bit instructions were used by mistake in the fault handlers. The relevant
instructions (the ",*" indicates that it's a 64-bit instruction) I see are:
   0:   09 3e 04 29     sub,* sp,r9,r9
   0:   08 3d 06 3d     add,* ret1,r1,ret1
   0:   0a 09 02 61     or,* r9,r16,r1
   0:   0a ba 00 3a     andcm,* r26,r21,r26
   0:   08 33 02 33     and,* r19,r1,r19

The interesting part is, that real physical 32-bit machines (like the 700/64
and B160L - which is the one we emulate) do boot those images and thus seem to
simply ignore the 64-bit flag on those instructions.

The patch below modifies the qemu instruction decoder to ignore the 64-bit flag
too - which is what real 32-bit hardware seems to do.  With this modification
qemu now successfully boots those older images too.

I suggest to apply the patch below - even if it does not reflect what the SPEC
says.  Instead it increases the compatibility to really existing hardware and
seem to not create problems if we add real PA2.0 support anytime later.
