--- Comment #2 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
adding this new SPR is tricky, there are two techniques:

1) add to CoreState as a peer of DEC and TB. this requires hooking
   into how DEC and TB read from a State regfile port.

   complicated.

2) have the cached copy in the Trap pipeline which handles
   *all* exceptions/interrupts.

   in PowerDecode2 spot the read/write to the SPR, manually
   redirect the pipeline unit, and then add OP_MTSPR
   and OP_MFSPR to the trap pipeline

   this is already done for LDST (loadstore1.py)



also needs adding to sprs.csv

also needs qualifying as a "fast" spr in decoder/enums.py
(decoder/sprs.py i think)
