Ok, than we can just zero out r5 for example and use it in tlbie as RS,

That won't assemble _unless_ your assembler is in POWER7 mode. It also
won't do the right thing at run time on older machines.

Correct, getting this to work on both pre-power7 and power7 and later
is tricky. One really horrible hack would be to do:

li r0,0
tlbie r4,0

On pre-power7, the "0" will be taken as a zero L operand and on
power7 and later, it'll be r0, but with a zero value we loaded in
the insn before. I know, really ugly. :-)

Hide the "li 0,0" somewhere earlier, and write it as "tlbie 4,0", and
don't write a comment -- we *like* tricky!

It should really be a separate macro define for power7 and 4xx etc.;
and the macro should not be called "tlbia", but something that makes
it obvious at the usage sites that it is in fact a macro; and why a
macro anyway, a function call might be better here?

I can't speculate on why it is a macro but would something such as the
following work?

Alternatively, we could move the assembly into swusp_asm64.S which appears to be
the only 64-bit caller of tlbia
