The macro system we use cannot do that (it will prefix with REG_),

both arguments are registers we must use R0 in this case.

So define a ___PPC_RA0 macro that doesn't do that.

But then we lose the checking for other instructions :-) Unless we start
being nasty and defining a different macro form for RA which can be 0...

I'd rather not go there unless we absolutely have to...

What would be nice also would be if we had a gas option to enforce the
use of % for register names. We'd probably have to struggle a little bit
with gcc inline asm in a case or two though.
