Using SET PROGRAM MASK the way you're doing in this series will also set the
program mask to 0, right?

In case you have some non zero register %[reg] and you want to set CC to 1 you
could do:

or	%[reg],%[reg] /* set CC to 1 */

In general, if I understand TEST UNDER MASK right, you could do:

tmll	%[set_cc],3

to set the CC to the value in %[set_cc] (without any shifting).
