[PATCH] powerpc: warn on emulation of dcbz instruction

dcbz instruction shouldn't be used on non-cached memory. Using
it on non-cached memory can result in alignment exception and
implies a heavy handling.

Instead of silentely emulating the instruction and resulting in high
performance degradation, warn whenever an alignment exception is
taken due to dcbz, so that the user is made aware that dcbz
instruction has been used unexpectedly.
