- * Here is checking mechanism which check if Microblaze has msr instructions
- * We load msr and compare it with previous r1 value - if is the same,
- * msr instructions works if not - cpu don't have them.
+ * According to Xilinx, msrclr instruction behaves like 'mfs rX,rpc'
+ * if the msrclr instruction is not enabled. We use this to detect
+ * if the opcode is available, by issuing msrclr and then testing the result.

if it's in r7, we've got to save it away ASAP.
