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.
