Interesting... I think I missed that we had that bit for some time :-)

Well, I suppose that on pSeries and probably pmac too, the firmware will
set the MWI bit for us anyway, but that's a bit dodgy to apply that to
all ppc64... they aren't all pSeries.

I'll have to look into that again one of these days.

Cheers,
