It needs a separate path for the PDIR change and for not doing the PEBS
workaround and for printing Ivy instead of Sandy. I had it originally merged in v1 with a 
goto, but Ingo thought it was obfuscated, so it became a separate block.
If you disagree with Ingo please take it up with him.

Stephane said that event doesn't exist anymore and I agree with him.
You cannot just base it on the SDM, it's SDM plus whatever is currently
known.

Besides they are misleading and wrong in any case.
