Building with GCC 13 (which has -array-bounds enabled) there are several
warnings in sstep.c along the lines of:

  In function ‘do_byte_reverse’,
      inlined from ‘do_vec_load’ at arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:691:3,
      inlined from ‘emulate_loadstore’ at arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:3439:9:
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:289:23: error: array subscript 2 is outside array 
bounds of ‘u8[16]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[16]’} [-Werror=array-bounds=]
    289 |                 up[2] = byterev_8(up[1]);
        |                 ~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c: In function ‘emulate_loadstore’:
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:681:11: note: at offset 16 into object ‘u’ of size 16
    681 |         } u = {};
        |           ^

do_byte_reverse() supports a size up to 32 bytes, but in these cases the
caller is only passing a 16 byte buffer. In practice there is no bug,
do_vec_load() is only called from the LOAD_VMX case in emulate_loadstore().
That in turn is only reached when analyse_instr() recognises VMX ops,
and in all cases the size is no greater than 16:

  $ git grep -w LOAD_VMX arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:                        op->type = MKOP(LOAD_VMX, 0, 
1);
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:                        op->type = MKOP(LOAD_VMX, 0, 
2);
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:                        op->type = MKOP(LOAD_VMX, 0, 
4);
  arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:                        op->type = MKOP(LOAD_VMX, 0, 
16);

Similarly for do_vec_store().

Although the warning is incorrect, the code would be safer if it clamped
the size from the caller to the known size of the buffer. Do that using
min_t().
