Just because there wasn't a cop behind the billboard doesn't mean we
weren't speeding. :-)

I've gotten machine checks on p4080 from such aliases under specific
circumstances (just not in the specific case of what U-Boot does).

While we're touching the spin table stuff, we really should fix the bug
that we don't load the upper half of r3 on 64-bit so at least on
non-e5500 we won't have old U-Boots floating around that don't do it.
