Of course!!! I wrote it just like the result of an SMC call, but that's
an interrupt, and the stupid "fix the 3-stage pipeline yourself" rule
applies. Very nice catch!

For those who are now thinking "WTF??", this is explained in the ARM ARM
(ARMv7 version), section B1.8.3, table B1-7.

Thanks again,
