Robert,

I know I've never had a need to use a microcode patch.  Maybe a quick
survey - has anybody ever had a need to use two patches at once?  I'm
suspecting you may be putting a lot of effort into something that's rarely
needed.  Also, as Motorola updates their silicon the patches will likely
become less relevant (less likely that new users will need the patches).
on my project alone, we've needed two different selections of those
patches.  so while it's not an earth-shattering modification, it
doesn't hurt and it sometimes helps.  and it makes the addition of any
future patches really trivial, if that ever happens.
