There is no register you can read that holds the current PC.  You can
issue a "lnk REG" instruction to load the address of the following register
into register REG.  And if you have interrupted the machine execution
with an interrupt or fault, you will find the interrupted address in an SPR.
But the current PC is not otherwise accessible.
