Steven Rostedt b54dcfe108 powerpc, ftrace: use unsigned int for instruction manipulation
The original port of ftrace to PowerPC kept a lot of the code used
by x86. Some of this code was to handle x86's 5 byte instruction.
This was handled by using character arrays to manipulate the
code.

PowerPC has a consistent 4 byte instruction. Using unsigned ints
makes the code more efficient as well as more readable.
By converting to use unsigned ints to represent instructions,
I was able to remove the side effects that were needed for
manipulating character strings.

  i.e. memcpy and memcmp
