That's still entirely disgusting, and afaict entirely redundant. You can
do that test in the operators below just fine.

And I can't say I'm a particular fan of these ops either, as alternative
I'm almost inclined to just exclude parisc from using opt spinning.
That said, this patch still doesn't address the far more interesting
problem of actually finding these issues for these few weird archs.
