This is not related to the patch but there is one other corner issue with the 
load and clear instructions.

When the target register is GR0, the instruction may be implemented as a normal 
load and clear
which clears memory, or it may be aliased to the equivalent-sized load 
instruction, in which case
it behaves exactly like that prefetch instruction and does not clear the data 
in memory.

See page 6-12 on PA 2.0 architecture.

Don't know what was actually done.

Regards,
Dave
