It would be nice to add something more general than this.  On Octeon we also
have a mode where there are replacement instructions for l[wd]l/l[wd]r.  At
some pont I will try to add support for those on mainline so I guess along the
logic in this thread I would have to define a new ISA, 64r2-.

Can't we just instead do something similar to how I generalized Octeon's
omission of certain cop instructions with NO_ISA_COP?
