One of the changes from the original POWER architecture to the
PowerPC architecture was "virtualizing" the instructions so that a
hypervisor-like OS could virtualize the processor and allow hosted
operating systems on a virtual machine.
The hosted operating system thinks that it is running on hardware
but all privileged operations trap to the hypervisor.
