Sorry, wrong conclusion, handling this in userland will bring us much 
too far if we want to answer correctly for the case the hook is not 
there but QEMU accepted the facility for AQIC.

The alternative is easier, we just continue to respond with the 
OPERATION exception here and only handle the specification and 
privileged exception cases in QEMU and in the hook.

So, I think the discussion will go on until you come back :)
