Hi,

as Paolo has merged the test into kvm-unit-tests, this patch (and
original bug) can be now tested with it.

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git

at least:

    be9b007 powerpc: add test to check invalid instruction trap

Run this with KVM-PR and check your dmesg:

qemu-system-ppc64 -machine pseries,accel=kvm \
                  -bios powerpc/boot_rom.bin \
                  -display none -serial stdio \
                  -kernel powerpc/emulator.elf -smp 1
