Thanks a lot for the patch, Alan. This also fixes the issues with gdb
disassemble for power6 and power7 instructions.

With these changes on powerpc_init_dialect(), I'd suggest to remove the info->mach

	* rs6000-tdep.c (gdb_print_insn_powerpc): Remove info->mach checking,
	since now it is being done in binutils' powerpc_init_dialect().
