This seems fair, probably it would be good to have a comment mentioninmg what
the nop is for, fyi for context these are the nop numbers used to control
simulations.

    #define NOP_NOP          0x0000      /* Normal nop instruction */
    #define NOP_EXIT         0x0001      /* End of simulation */
    #define NOP_REPORT       0x0002      /* Simple report */
    /*#define NOP_PRINTF       0x0003       Simprintf instruction (obsolete)*/
    #define NOP_PUTC         0x0004      /* JPB: Simputc instruction */
    #define NOP_CNT_RESET    0x0005      /* Reset statistics counters */
    #define NOP_GET_TICKS    0x0006      /* JPB: Get # ticks running */
    #define NOP_GET_PS       0x0007      /* JPB: Get picosecs/cycle */
    #define NOP_TRACE_ON     0x0008      /* Turn on tracing */
    #define NOP_TRACE_OFF    0x0009      /* Turn off tracing */
    #define NOP_RANDOM       0x000a      /* Return 4 random bytes */
    #define NOP_OR1KSIM      0x000b      /* Return non-zero if this is Or1ksim */
    #define NOP_EXIT_SILENT  0x000c      /* End of simulation, quiet version */
    /* New! */
    #define NOP_RESET        0x000d      /* Reset the cpu */

I will queue this once we update the spec to define some of these, I am thinking
if qemu should allow for the shutdown to work in user mode.

BTW, are you working specifically on openrisc? Or just setting up test
environments for all architectures?
