Subject: [patch 4/7] Add text_poke and sync_core to powerpc
Date: Saturday, February 2, 2008 - 5:08 pm

- Needed on architectures where we must surround live instruction modification
  with "WP flag disable".
- Turns into a memcpy on powerpc since there is no WP flag activated for
  instruction pages (yet..).
- Add empty sync_core to powerpc so it can be used in architecture independent
  code.
