KVM_REG_MIPS_PC gets you vcpu->arch.pc, i.e. the next address of guest
execution.

KVM_REG_MIPS_CP0_EPC gets you the guest's CP0 EPC register which is the PC of
the last guest exception.

They are quite distinct state, even though vcpu->arch.pc is read from the
*root context*'s CP0 EPC register after an exception or interrupt.
