Re: [PATCH v2 6/7] KVM: PPC: mmio: Return to guest after emulation failure

If MMIO emulation fails we don't want to crash the whole guest by
returning to userspace.

The original commit bbf45ba57eae ("KVM: ppc: PowerPC 440 KVM
implementation") added a todo:

   /* XXX Deliver Program interrupt to guest. */

and later the commit d69614a295ae ("KVM: PPC: Separate loadstore
emulation from priv emulation") added the Program interrupt injection
but in another file, so I'm assuming it was missed that this block
needed to be altered.

Signed-off-by: Fabiano Rosas <redacted>

Looks right.
Reviewed-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <redacted>

but this means if I want to keep debugging those kvm selftests in 
comfort, I'll have to have some exception handlers in the vm as 
otherwise the failing $pc is lost after this change :)
