Per E500 core reference manual [1], chapter 8.4.4 "Branch Taken Debug
Event" and chapter 8.4.5 "Instruction Complete Debug Event":
"A branch taken debug event occurs if both MSR[DE] and DBCR0[BRT]
are set ... Branch taken debug events are not recognized if MSR[DE]
is cleared when the branch instruction executes."
"An instruction complete debug event occurs when any instruction
completes execution so long as MSR[DE] and DBCR0[ICMP] are both
set ... Instruction complete debug events are not recognized if
MSR[DE] is cleared at the time of the instruction execution."
Current codes do not check MSR.DE bit before setting HFLAGS_SE and
HFLAGS_BE flag, which would cause the immediate debug interrupt to
be generated, e.g.: when DBCR0.ICMP bit is set by guest software
and MSR.DE is not set.

There was a discussion some time ago that was better to avoid hidden
uses of *env, so it may be better to change msr_de to ((env->msr
>> MSR_DE) & 1) or to (env->msr & BIT_ULL(MSR_DE))
