This is a good indicator for why we should just kill off all of the
references in-tree that we can find, it's been a terrible abstraction
from the beginning. It would have been nice if more than a single family
of CPUs could have been consistent with its segmentation.

For SH-2A these look fine, so I'll check this in as it is, but I would
much rather see patches that get rid of more of these references, rather
than adding more ;-)
