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.

Looks right.

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 :)

Yes! But that will be a problem for any test. These kinds of issues is
why I wanted a trial period before sending the test infrastructure
upstream. Maybe we don't need exception handlers, but just a way to
force the test to crash if it tries to fetch from 0x700.
