Not sure it's worth bothering with in palcode-clipper - for Linux it's

generated that call_pal either...  What else is out there?  OSF?

BTW, out of curiosity - what was
               case 5: /* illoc */
               default: /* unexpected instruction-fault type */
about in that switch in do_entIF()?

All documentation I'd been able to find had only 0..4 as expected
values (bpt/bugcheck/gentrap/fen/opdec)...

No idea.

Historical git (cd52cb6178a7, v2.4.8 -> v2.4.8.1) suggests it's related to shark_mv, so perhaps a later revision of DEC PALcode. But I have no corresponding documentation.
