Note the MQ register (SPR 0) is only present in the original Power machines,
and the 601 powerpc which was the transition machine.  Modern powerpc's don't
support it.  However register # 64 is still reserved for the MQ register in the
compiler/debug information (0..31 is the GPRs, 32..63 is the FPRs, 64 is the MQ
register, 65 is the LR register, 66 is the CNT register, 67 is the phony
argument pointer register that is eliminated to be the SP or FP, 68..75 are the
CRs, and 76 is the XER register).
