For unimplemented instructions or unimplemented SPRs, the 8xx triggers
a "Software Emulation Exception" (0x1000). That interrupt doesn't set
reason bits in SRR1 as the "Program Check Exception" does.
Go through emulation_assist_interrupt() to set REASON_ILLEGAL.

I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to set REASON_ILLEGAL
in the exception prolog and still call program_check_exception.
And do the same in book3s/64 to avoid the nightmare of an
INTERRUPT_HANDLER calling another INTERRUPT_HANDLER.

Hmm, I missed this. We just change program_check_exception to
a common function which is called by both.
Thanks,

Applied to powerpc/next.
