BookE can not cause a bad page fault in the guest with ESR bits AFAIKS, 
so it would cause an infinite fault loop here. Maybe stick with the 
program interrupt for BookE with a comment about that here.

And if it could use if (IS_ENABLED()) would be good?

Otherwise looks good, it should do the right thing on BookS.

Thanks,
Nick
