I don't think anybody knows what the hardware does in this
condition. I also suspect it has never happened, or if it has, nobody
has complained.
I would say, let is divide by 0, so there is an obvious kernel stack
trace and hopefully a report of the issue. It can then be investigated
in a way we can then find out what the hardware actually is doing.
