KVM should not inject a facility unavailable exception into the guest
when it tries to execute a mtspr/mfspr instruction for an SPR that
is unavailable, and the vCPU is *not* running in PRoblem state.

It's right that we inject an exception when the vCPU is in PR mode, since
chapter "6.2.10 Facility Status and Control Register" of the PowerISA
v2.07 says that "When the FSCR makes a facility unavailable, attempted
usage of the facility in *problem state* is treated as follows: [...]
Access of an SPR using mfspr/mtspr causes a Facility Unavailable
interrupt". But if the guest vCPU is not in PR mode, we should follow
the behavior that is described in chapter "4.4.4 Move To/From System
Register Instructions" instead and treat the instruction as a NOP.

This doesn't seem quite right.  My reading of the ISA is that the FSCR
bit for a facility being 0 doesn't prevent privileged code from
accessing the facility, so we shouldn't be treating mfspr/mtspr as
NOP.  Instead we should be set the facility's bit in the shadow
FSCR and re-execute the instruction (remembering of course to clear
the FSCR bit when we go back to emulated problem state).

For TM it's a bit different as the MSR[TM] bit does prevent privileged
code from accessing TM registers and instructions, so for TM we should
be delivering a facility unavailable interrupt even when the guest is
in emulated privileged state.

So I don't see any case where mfspr/mtspr should be treated as a NOP
in response to a facility unavailable interrupt.

Paul.
