Is there a particular reason you haven't called it PRTCR or similar to 
match PTCR?

Seems like reasonable architecture for a non-HV platform.

Could it have a comment to say it's not architected, and a microwatt
ifdef until that changes?

The patch also does avoid touching LPCR or initing amor...

Thanks,
