BookE does not have the eieio insn.  Instead, it reuses the same opcode
for mbar, which has similar but different semantics.

e500 has that EIEIO_EN thing which makes the insn behave like eieio.

Yup.  In the past we used -many, but that just hides problems in the
best case, and causes more problems itself :-(

There are many mnemonics that cause a different instruction to be
emitted on different targets, and that causes a lot of wasted time
trying to find and fix the problems this causes.

If you hit any remaining problems related to this, please let me know!
