Move these into __KVM_HANDLER (aka: keep the code in there the same as KVM_HANDLER today)

Restore the state here as if a non-debug interrupt occurred. __KVM_HANDLER will fetch r4 itself from SPRG_THREAD.

I'm basically advocating to not optimize the debug case at all. Instead, I would prefer to have the exception ABI be identical to the fallback case ABI. That way we don't have to worry about 4 code paths, but only about 3, keeping the complexity of the code low.
