It turns out, there *is* such an architecture and it can have the *same*
sequences instruction that need to be atomic as PPC:  the RS6000!

So here is a patch that adds dealing with atomic sequences for the
RS6000.

The attach patch assumes that the 'change-software-single-step.diff'
patch has been applied.

OK to commit?
