The 8xx has two special registers called EID (External Interrupt
Disable) and EIE (External Interrupt Enable) for clearing/setting
EE in MSR. It avoids the three instructions set mfmsr/ori/mtmsr or
mfmsr/rlwinm/mtmsr.
We just have to write something in the register to change MSR EE
bit. So we write r0 into the register, regardless of r0 value.

All 8xx? What other models? (5xx for example).
At least 823, 860, 866 and 885 have it.
Looks like the 5xx have it too (at least the 565). Does Linux supports
that one at all ?
8272 and 8323 don't have it.

I haven't been able to find a manual for all 8xx. But there is AN2055,
which suggests EIE etc. is for all 8xx indeed.

All 5xx have it, there is a manual for *that* ("RCPU") :-)

MSR_KERNEL contains the RI bit.
MSR_KERNEL less MSR_IR and MSR_DR is loaded into MSR in
EXCEPTION_PROLOG_2() in head_8xx.S
Then reloaded with MSR_KERNEL in some places in entry_32.S
And MSR_RI is cleared in restore: in entry_32.S a few insns before the RFI.
So in all C functions, MSR_RI is set.

This is wrong (NRI is 82). Don't write code you cannot test / don't submit
code you haven't tested? :-)
Oops. You're right, copy/paste failure.
Was tested on an 885. Unfortunatly SPRN_NRI is not used (yet) :-(
