When emulating certain floating point instructions or vector instructions on PowerPC machines, QEMU did not properly generate the SPE/Embedded Floating- Point Unavailable interrupt. See the buglink further below for references to the relevant NXP documentation. This patch fixes the behavior of some evfs* instructions that were incorrectly emitting the interrupt. More importantly, this patch fixes the behavior of several efd* and ev* instructions that were not generating the interrupt. Triggering the interrupt for these instructions fixes lazy FPU/vector context switching on some operating systems like Linux. Without this patch, the result of some double-precision arithmetic could be corrupted due to the lack of proper saving and restoring of the upper 32-bit part of the general-purpose registers.
