The table of contents (TOC) code only appears to only apply to
ppc64. The code was incorrectly assuming the existence of the TOC on
ppc32. This commit updates the necessary code to only apply to ppc64.

This commit adds a framework to abstract runtime code patching.
Components in the new framework can provide functions for either
patching a named function or a function pointer. The later
functionality is not being used but may provide a way to allow memory
hooks when dlopen functionality is disabled.
This commit adds two different flavors of code patching. The first is
provided by the overwrite component. This component overwrites the
first several instructions of the target function with code to jump to
the provided hook function. The hook is expected to provide the full
functionality of the hooked function.
The linux patcher component is based on the memory hooks in ucx. It
only works on linux and operates by overwriting function pointers in
the symbol table. In this case the hook is free to call the original
function using the function pointer returned by dlsym.
Both components restore the original functions when the patcher
framework closes.
Changes had to be made to support Power/PowerPC with the Linux
dynamic loader patcher. Some of the changes:
- Move code necessary for powerpc/power support to the patcher
base. The code is needed by both the overwrite and linux
components.
- Move patch structure down to base and move the patch list to
mca_patcher_base_module_t. The structure has been modified to
include a function pointer to the function that will unapply the
patch. This allows the mixing of multiple different types of
patches in the patch_list.
- Update linux patching code to keep track of the matching between
got entry and original (unpatched) address. This allows us to
completely clean up the patch on finalize.
All patchers keep track of the changes they made so that they can be
reversed when the patcher framework is closed.
At this time there are bugs in the Linux dynamic loader patcher so
its priority is lower than the overwrite patcher.
