If there are any exceptions raised during IPL and not handled it will result in openpower-proc-control application crash. It would be better to create a PEL and then decide to continue IPL / crash based on the error type.
This issue was noticed when reading guard records from PNOR as part of startHost HWP, and as PNOR was not initialized properly the call to read guard record fail and the application crashed when GuardRecordInvalid exception was thrown.
