I've verified that the QEMU-powerpc and the PPC system lock up on the first
call to ppc_set_segment_register.

ppc_set_segment_register does set_sr in
src/system/kernel/arch/ppc/arch_cpu_asm.S which does an mtsrin privileged
assembly instruction.

I am transitioning this thread to haiku-development from haiku as now it's
getting a little technical. :)
