Extra cookies for the nice soul who:
- removes the 'if (registered)' test (it can not happen)
- uses different error lablels and unrolls the error path. I can not claim
  that the current error path is wrong but it would not hurt if it was more
  trivially balanced.


Please note that this code is going away very soon, when arch/ppc dies.
