PowerPC: new_exceptions status

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello Nickolay,

the two exception handling schemes are definitively a problem for
portable drivers (and everything in libchip).

Attached you will find a patch that is not nice, but it works at least
for powerpc BSPs (or at least one BSP :-)) This patch is aganst
rtems-4.6.2, but should work with other versions aswell.

wkr,
Thomas.
