Sorry I didn't realize this earlier. I think it's more obvious to the 
reader if the "enabled for TCG" logic is not hidden in some other function:

  if (!kvm_enabled() || kvmppc_supports_multitce()) {

Is this one of those cases where the guest may expect us to mask the 
upper bits again? It's not an rtas call after all. What does sPAPR say?
