Actually, ignore this, I think it is wrong.  It is true though that brl
wasn't in the original specification (and isn't implemented in hardware
on the Itanium1), but we did have movl and thus probably had nop.x from
the beginning.  Anyways, the point here is that we never tried to
prevent nop.x from working, this was just a simple oversight.
