Famous last words... ;)

It has been insisted upon earlier by upstream; for example, when we
submitted the openrisc architecture.  Aside from that, I am not the one
who is going to be doing any insisting here.

That said, given that this is a soft core CPU and what that entails, I
do think it is probably a good idea to version this thing.

Hopefully you will get some sage advice from someone else here...
otherwise, you may do as you see fit.

Your patch is otherwise fine by me and your effort here is much appreciated!
