Excerpts from Fabiano Rosas's message of January 8, 2022 7:00 am:
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.

So at this point can the pr_info just go away?
I wonder if this shouldn't be a DSI rather than a program check.
DSI with DSISR[37] looks a bit more expected. Not that Linux
probably does much with it but at least it would give a SIGBUS
rather than SIGILL.
It does not like it is more expected to me, it is not about wrong memory
attributes, it is the instruction itself which cannot execute.
DSISR[37]:
Set to 1 if the access is due to a lq, stq, lwat, ldat, lbarx, lharx,
lwarx, ldarx, lqarx, stwat,
stdat, stbcx., sthcx., stwcx., stdcx., or stqcx. instruction that
addresses storage that is Write
Through Required or Caching Inhibited; or if the access is due to a copy
or paste. instruction
that addresses storage that is Caching Inhibited; or if the access is
due to a lwat, ldat, stwat, or
stdat instruction that addresses storage that is Guarded; otherwise set
to 0.
