[PATCH 1/4] ARM: hw-breakpoint: add mechanism for hooking into prefetch aborts

On ARM processors with hardware breakpoint and watchpoint support,
triggering these events results in a debug exception. These manifest
as prefetch and data aborts respectively.
arch/arm/mm/fault.c already provides hook_fault_code for hooking
into data aborts dependent on the DFSR. This patch adds a new function,
hook_ifault_code for hooking into prefetch aborts in the same manner.
