This makes even less sense than the previous version. Either you treat 
inst as "definitely overwritten" or as "preserves previous data on failure".

So either you unconditionally swap like you did before or you do

if (ret == EMULATE_DONE)
     *inst = kvmppc_need_byteswap(vcpu) ? swab32(vcpu->arch.last_inst) : 
vcpu->arch.last_inst;

inst is unused?

The rest looks pretty nice though :).
