The culprit is this patch:

commit 784f1782e3c9cab310d6c513df966c547c3f17aa
Author: Alexander Graf <agraf@...e.de>
Date:   Wed Sep 14 21:45:23 2011 +0200

    KVM: PPC: Add support for explicit HIOR setting
    
    Until now, we always set HIOR based on the PVR, but this is just wrong.
    Instead, we should be setting HIOR explicitly, so user space can decide
    what the initial HIOR value is - just like on real hardware.
    
    We keep the old PVR based way around for backwards compatibility, but
    once user space uses the SET_ONE_REG based method, we drop the PVR logic.
