ah.  that's because i haven't re-run it in a while, and i added RC to a list
of register names in one of the pseudo-code files.  should be fixed with this:
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=commitdiff;h=d6dfbc112e9fb2de20dd719f51e3b65c1d275f48

nope it isn't.  what's going on... AH, Alain added a couple of extra pseudo-code
functions, "lmw" and "stmw", i'll need to review them.

yes.  it's compiling the pseudocode from here:
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=tree;f=openpower/isa;hb=HEAD

into actual executable python code.  yes, really, pywriter is a compiler.
you can see its output in src/openpower/decoder/isa/

it's now been joined by a corresponding "pyfnwriter" so you'll also need to run
"make pyfnwriter" as well.

give me a mo to re-run the compile and run some tests.
