Yes.

- MASn
- wrtee/wrteei
- SPRG4-7 (guest not allowed to write to paravirt SPRG and read from real
  and expect it to match)
- ESR
- PIR
- a fix to int_pending (wasn't getting cleared on IACK)
- elimination of a trap on guest entry by using mtmsr instead of rfi in a
  case where it doesn't need to be atomic
- Elimination of the need to write to HID0 before MSR[WE] if running under
  KVM (helps when frequently blocking on I/O).

Then there are timer fixes, interrupt stuff, e500mc, etc.
