I doubt it would return 0, whether we read instruction or not ppc_inst_len()
would always return sizeof(struct ppc_inst).

can we do something like,

static int
mread_instr(unsigned long adrs, struct ppc_inst *instr)
{
	int size = 0;
	if (setjmp(bus_error_jmp) == 0) {
		catch_memory_errors = 1;
		sync();
		*instr = ppc_inst_read((struct ppc_inst *)adrs);
		sync();
		/* wait a little while to see if we get a machine check */
		__delay(200);
		size = ppc_inst_len(instr);
	}
	catch_memory_errors = 0;
	return size;
}
