Excerpts from Christophe Leroy's message of January 26, 2021 12:48 am:
Only PPC64 has scv. No need to check the 0x7ff0 trap on PPC32.
And ignore the scv parameter in syscall_exit_prepare (Save 14 cycles
346 => 332 cycles)

Perhaps this could be hidden behind a function like trap_is_scv()?
trap_is_unsupported_scv() ?
