Subject: uprobes/powerpc: Add dependency on single step emulation
From: "Suzuki K. Poulose" <suzuki@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5e249d4528528c9a77da051a89ec7f99d31b83eb upstream.
Uprobes uses emulate_step in sstep.c, but we haven't explicitly specified
the dependency. On pseries HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT protects us, but 44x has no
such luxury.
Consolidate other users that depend on sstep and create a new config option.
