nice.  quite involved, but nice.

use the MTMSR instruction as part of the test, to clear the appropriate bit.
you can pre-prepare a register in initial_regs (r29 or something) so
that you don't
have to do the 6-long immediate suite of instructions or use a shift instruction
to get the appropriate (high) bit set.
