The sc and scv 0 system calls have different ABI conventions, and
ptracers need to know which system call type is being used if it wants
to look at the syscall registers.

Document that pt_regs.trap can be used for this, and fix one in-tree user
to work with scv 0 syscalls.
Applied to powerpc/fixes.
