  Modified files:
    sys/powerpc/include  pmap.h 
    sys/powerpc/powerpc  mmu_if.m mmu_oea.c pmap_dispatch.c 
                         uio_machdep.c 
  Log:
  Fix gdb issue where the i-cache was not being updated when a breakpoint
  was written into a user's address space. The fix is to modify uiomove_fromphys
  to sync the icache when an executable user-space page is written into.
  
  Alan Cox suggested that there should probably be a higher-level interface
  to this in the ptrace code, but agreed that this is an OK short-term solution.
  
  Files changed:
  
  pmap.h - declaration of pmap_page_executable()
  pmap_dispatch.c - pass through the page_executable call to the mmu object
  mmu_oea.c - implement the page_executable method by examining the PTE_EXEC
   field in the vm_page_t
  uio_machdep.c - in uiomove_fromphys(), if the op was a UIO_WRITE to user-space,
   and if the page is executable, sync the icache since this is at the least
   a breakpoint-write from gdb.
