The kernel patch "powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit" adds an eieio barrier instruction to kernel entry and exit points on the POWER9 platform. The eieio instruction form used has bit 6 set. This bit is ignored by hardware however under tcg it causes an illegal instruction.
To allow these kernels to run under tcg, modify the eieio instruction to ignore bit 6.
