| You could read the instruction from memory and work it out.

Here is a draft of what I could come up with.  With this patch, 
the number of L1 hits on Power7 matches that on Power8 for one
application.

But, wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this - there
are over 50 flavors of load and store!

(btw, I will resend my whole patchset after some time-off).
