ppc64: disable gen_pause() for linux-user mode
While trying to install a fedora container with "lxc-create -t fedora -- -I qemu-ppc64" the installation abort with the following error: qemu: fatal: Unknown exception 0x65537.

With that, I can boot 8 CPUs just fine with powernv. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> We can fix that by preventing to send EXCP_HLT in the case of linux-user mode, as the main loop doesn't know how to manage it.
