Cute idea!  Some comments below...

Did you consider doing it the other way around, i.e. with r12
containing (cr << 32) | trap?  That would save 1 instruction in each
handler:

+	sldi	r12,r9,32;						\
+	ori	r12,r12,(n);						\

Why not put this std in kvmppc_interrupt[_hv] rather than in each
handler?

Same comment again, of course.

This would then need to be srdi r4, r12, 32; stw r4, VCPU_CR(r9)

and this would become clrldi r12,r12,32 though arguably that's not
totally necessary since we always do cmpwi/stw/lwz on r12 (but I'd
feel safer with the clrldi in place).
