The reset value of IP is determined by the IIP bit (bit 2) in the hard reset configuration word. See
Reset Configuration Word."
When an exception is taken, most MSR bits are saved in the SRR1 and the MSR is reconfigured with the
state of the exception handler using the values in
"Exception Latency."
After a hard reset, MSR[IP] takes the value specified in hard reset configuration word. See
Section 11.3.1.1, "Hard Reset Configuration Word."

Subsequent soft resets cause IP to revert to the value latched during hard reset configuration.
