[target/ppc] excp_helper.c and mmu_helper.c cleanup

[Lucas Mateus Martins Araujo e Castro]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on cleaning up some of the changes to enable the disable-tcg option on PPC, right now focusing on target/ppc/excp_helper.c and target/ppc/mmu_helper.c as these files have functions that are needed in a !TCG build but also contains code that doesn't compile in a !TCG build, and currently that is dealt with #ifdef.

For excp_helper.c I moved all exception handling functions to a new file (named target/ppc/excp_handler.c for now) and left only the helpers in it, and changed meson.build to always compile the new file and only compile the file with the helpers in a build with TCG.

For mmu_helper.c the idea is to move all the code inside #ifdef CONFIG_TCG to another file that shouldn't be compiled in a !TCG build. But these changes are based on Richard Henderson's patch, so it depends if they'll be applied as is or there will be another version.

Also I'm looking into the possibility of not compiling ppc_tlb_invalidate_all in mmu_helper.c, but that's only possible if this function is not used in a !TCG build, does anyone know if this function is used in some corner case when running with KVM?

Any opinion on these changes?
