ISA v3.0 radix guest execution has a quirk in AIL behaviour such that
the LPCR[AIL] value can apply to hypervisor interrupts.
This affects machines that emulate HV=1 mode (i.e., powernv9).

Ah ok, so we actually want to replicate the quirk in the pnv
machine. Took me a while.

Yes. Quirk is probably the wrong word for me to use. It's architected
behaviour so it must be implemented, it's just slightly surprising /
easy to miss.

Shouldn't we test for P9 ? But I think you are using a new exception
model for P10 in the next patch.
I guess it's ok for now.

We have a ppc64_v3_radix() helper but this is minor.
