There's some precedent for checking HID bits using a cpu class
function. See pcc->check_pow, check_pow_hid0() and
check_pow_hid0_74xx(). I find it a bit nicer because the class carries
all the data so it's easier to move code around.

In another incarnation of this patch, Cédric had a check for the
privilege level and linux-user:

+static void gen_attn(DisasContext *ctx)
+{
+ #if defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY)
+    GEN_PRIV;
+#else
+    CHK_SV;
+
+    gen_helper_attn(cpu_env, cpu_gpr[3]);
+    ctx->base.is_jmp = DISAS_NORETURN;
+#endif
+}

Aren't you missing the 970 with this? Maybe worth a insns_flag2 flag
just for the attn?
