I assume it is only generated for specific ISA extensions - and that
both POWER7 and e500 have them.  GAS says:

  if (ppc_cpu & (PPC_OPCODE_SPE
               | PPC_OPCODE_ISEL | PPC_OPCODE_EFS
               | PPC_OPCODE_BRLOCK | PPC_OPCODE_PMR | PPC_OPCODE_CACHELCK
               | PPC_OPCODE_RFMCI))

I don't know what all of those mean.
