[PATCH 11/19] target/ppc/excp_helper.c: POWERPC_EXCP_EBB adjustments

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

The current logic is only considering event-based exceptions triggered
by the performance monitor. This is true now, but we might want to add
support for external event-based exceptions in the future.

Let's make it a bit easier to do so by adding the bit logic that would
happen in case we were dealing with an external event-based exception.

While we're at it, add a few comments explaining why we're setting and
clearing BESCR bits.
