Some additional low-level information:

For exception 0x700 (program) the screen picture
shows (but I've added ' use):

srr0=3D0x0 (0x4000'0000'0000'0000)
. . .
lr  =3D0x0 (0x4000'0000'0000'0000)

The kernel PGM trap notice does report:

ctr=3D0xc000'0000'00ad'7ad4
(the start of pcr_get but with the 0xc
prefix)

I'll remind of the pcr_get+0x4c report in the summary.

objdump for /boot/kernel/kernel reports:
