Log Message:
Handle the Facility Unavailable exception as a SIGILL

Currently Facility Unavailable is absent and once an application
tries to use or access a register from a feature disabled in the
CPU it causes a kernel panic.

A simple test-case is:

int main() { asm volatile ("tbegin.;"); }

which will use TM (Hardware Transactional Memory) feature which
is not supported by the kernel and so will trigger the following
kernel panic:

----

fatal user trap:

    exception       = 0xf60 (unknown)
    srr0            = 0x10000890
    srr1            = 0x800000000000f032
    lr              = 0x100004e4
    curthread       = 0x5f93000
    pid = 1021, comm = htm

panic: unknown trap
cpuid = 40
KDB: stack backtrace:

    chunk 2: 1MB (2 pages)panic: IOMMU mapping error: -4

cpuid = 40
Uptime: 3m18s

----

Since Hardware Transactional Memory is not yet supported by FreeBSD, treat
this as an illegal instruction.
