The indentation of the lines you're adding doesn't match the surrounding
lines.


Although the same workaround is already in r100.c, I wonder if we
shouldn't rather try and eliminate all reads from the CP_RB_WPTR
register, at least other than for debugging purposes. Alex, what do you
think?

Otherwise, this should probably be added in evergreen.c as well.

No need to include all this text, just the *-by: tags are enough.
