It should be sufficient to check the primary opcode to determine if it 
is a prefixed instruction. You don't have to read the suffix. I see that 
we don't have a helper to do this currently, so you could do:

	if (ppc_inst_primary_opcode(ppc_inst(prefix)) == 1)

In the future, it might be worthwhile to add IS_PREFIX() as a macro 
similar to IS_MTMSRD() if there are more such uses.

Along with this, if you also add the below to the start of this 
function, you can get rid of the #ifdef:

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64))
		return 0;
