Storing certain values in some registers can cause asynchronous
interrupts that can crash the test case, for example decrementer
or PMU interrupts.
Change the msleep to mdelay which does not enable MSR[EE] and so
avoids the problem. This allows removing some of the SPR special
casing.

IIRC I used the H_CEDE stuff here on purpose to increase the possibility
that the guest gets rescheduled onto another CPU core on the host, and thus
that it uncovers sprs that are not saved and restored on the host more
easily. So I'd rather keep the msleep() here.
