proposed patch

I tried with just the nat/linux-ptrace.h hunk, but that wasn't enough
to fix the problem.  We could fix the kernel side to distinguish, but
that gets into version requirements.  It might just be better not to
rely on the kernel for singlestep support at all.

Note that the base alpha_software_single_step should have been using
alpha_deal_with_atomic_sequence, so that we don't get into a different
sort of infinite loop.
