Hi Paul,

While we are at it, can we also add nop to the list of emulated
instructions?

Emulate ori 0,0,0 (nop).

The long winded way is to do:

        case 24:
                rd = (instr >> 21) & 0x1f;
                if (rd != 0)
                        break;
                rb = (instr >> 11) & 0x1f;
                if (rb != 0)
                        break;
Don't we just need rb == rd?
Sure. But for this case, just checking against the opcode seems simple
enough.
