When an operation code is not recognized (ie invalid instruction) an operation exception should be generated instead of a specification exception. The latter is for valid opcode, with invalid operands or modifiers.
This give a very basic GDB support in the guest, as it uses the invalid opcode 0x0001 to generate a trap.
