p. 25: table 3.6, the acronym "PIR" comes out of nowhere, perhaps
explain it the first time?
I'm drawing a blank as to what that is.
According to the Mindshare book: PowerPC System Architecture:

"Processor ID Register (PIR)

The PIR is a 32-bit register that can be used by the OS to assign
an ID to the processor.  Aside from any OS-specific usage of the
assigned ID, the processor uses the ID when communicating with
I/O devices."
  whoops, then my patch was wrong. dang.
