Note that your original BookE DEC emulation looks fishy :-)

I may have missed something in your code... but I don't think it
emulates the expected HW behaviour:

Basically, when the BookE DEC hits the 1 -> 0 transition it latches an
event in TSE:DIS always, whether TCR:DIE is set or not. If DIE is not
set, the interrupt is sent. It will then stop counting if auto-reload
isn't enabled.

That means that if TSR:DIS is set from a previous event while TCR:DIE is
clear, then setting TCR:DIE (with MSR:EE enabled of course) will trigger
a DEC interrupt on BookE.

The BookE DEC interrupt is basically a level sensitive thing sourced
from to (TSR:DIS && TCR:DIE), and TSR:DIS remains set until explicitely
cleared.

Cheers,
Ben.
