Ooops, some of my experiments with carry must have snuck in, sorry. Speaking
of, I'm getting some weird behavior with carry on qemu. If I run some
instructions that generate a carry or overflow, then have gdb read the xer
register, it returns 0. But if I execute a `mfxer r5` or the like and print out
that register, it gives me the correct value for xer. I'm trying to confirm
whether this is a bug with qemu or not.
