I ran into this during some testing on qemu. The current facility_strings[] are correct when the trap address is 0xf80 (hypervisor facility unavailable). When the trap address is 0xf60, IC (Interruption Cause) a.k.a status in the code is undefined for values 0 and 1. This patch adds a check to prevent printing the wrong information and helps better direct debugging effort.
