This series is a cleanup of the use of 'struct ppc_inst'.

A confusion is made between internal representation of powerpc
instructions with 'struct ppc_inst' and in-memory code which is
and will always be an array of 'unsigned int'.

Why don't we use u32 *, to make it even more explicit what the expected
size is?

I guess that's historical, we could use u32 *

We can convert it incrementaly maybe ?
