That's a pretty special way of interpreting the results.

From the above table we see that all SH4AL-DSPs that are standalone cores
have no PMB functionality, and that the only ones that do are in ARM/SH
multi-core configurations. This is what needs to be special cased.
Implying that the potential existence of the PMB has anything at all to
do with SH4AL-DSP outside of the SH/R-Mobile context is disingenous at
best.

If a standalone SH4AL-DSP pops up with PMB functionality in the future
then of course that can be special cased too, but for now implying that
SH4AL-DSP = PMB is absurd.
