So, an informal server / embedded split is older than the "Book S"
vs. "Book E" terminology, so it's a question of whether we want to
apply the newer terminology to the older systems. As you say, that's
arguably problematic for BookS, but it's equally troublesome for "not
BookE": 40x and possibly 44x as well also predate the "Book E"
terminology (and certainly don't meet even the earliest version of the
Book E spec). However they are from the "embedded" branch of cpu
models, and do not have the registers that the ne_601 function
creates.
Naming things is hard :/.
