Thanks, that's helpful.  Do you know if 440{GX,EP,SP,SPe,GR} implement
all of the 32-bit user-mode instructions in Book E?

How do mbar and msync work on those processors?  As mbar and msync (as
defined in Book E) or as eieio and sync?

Do the 440* processors in fact claim Book E compliance?

Thanks,
Paul.
