 Olaf, thanks for the info: I'll eliminate the use of mcrxr. Are there
 any other quirks like that for ppc970 that we might be bitten by?
 Do you know if "mfxer Rx" also clears the OV, CA and SO bits in XER?
 That is one of the uses we had for that instruction.

+"mfxer  Rx" does not clear SO, OV or CA. The following sequence can 
+be used (leave out the "mtocrf 0, Rx", if you do not want to set the CR 
+along the way): 
+ 
+    mfxer  Rx 
+    mtocrf 0, Rx 
+    rlwinm Rx,Rx,0,0,28 
+    mtxer  Rx 
+ 
+BTW, a patch emulating mcrxr in the Kernel is available.
