Quoting Oleg Nesterov [off-list ref]:

The commit a8a4b03ab95f ("powerpc: Hard wire PT_SOFTE value to 1 in
ptrace & signals") changed ptrace_get_reg(PT_SOFTE) to report 0x1,
but PTRACE_GETREGS still copies pt_regs->softe as is.

This is not consistent and this breaks the user-regs-peekpoke test
from https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/tests/

I think the following should work, and not require the first patch  
(compile tested only).
