My patch indeed was backed out.  If ever I find the time I'll get it 
back
in though, but without affecting tlbie (the syntax for tlbie is 
different
when you look at the PEM or at the Books; the patch was supposed to 
handle
a problem in the cmpXX insns only).  Someone should get the PEM and the
architecture books back in line ;-)
