According to the PowerISA 2.07, mtspr and mfspr should not always generate an illegal instruction exception when being used with an undefined SPR, but rather treat the instruction as a NOP or inject a privilege exception in some cases, too - depending on the SPR number. Also turn the printk here into a ratelimited print statement, so that the guest can not flood the dmesg log of the host by issueing lots of illegal mtspr/mfspr instruction here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
