--- Comment #12 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
rrright.  nooow the VLE 64k pages being marked as such makes sense.

the alternative encoding is an implicit marker that completely separates
standard v3.0B ppc64le ABI code from VLE/Compressed/SVPrefix code, leaving the
opportunity to have data entirely LE.

calls from one to the other are not a problem and do not need a mode-switching
instruction because the *page bit* is that marker.
