qemu definitely sets RT=RA for divw when RB=0.  note: not divwo - *divw*.

which is why i asked if you could check.  hugh and paul mackerras mentioned
that this *might* have been old behaviour on e.g. POWER7 or POWER8.

if you run the unit test simulator/test_div_sim.py (and edit it
accordingly) you will be able to see for yourself.
