Uffff. It is worse than that. They were read-only for user space till 2.07,
now they might be write-enabled too because of EBB. Do I really have to
implement exceptions on accessing them as described in "6.2.11 Hypervisor
Facility Status and Control Register" (2.07)? It is getting too much just
to get H_SET_MODE(AIL) accepted, no? :-)
