I think it is out of scope here - I think this is fine the way it is,  
at least for now.  I'd like to get these cleanups in as soon as  
possible before someone else replicates more code.

We can post a followon later to change how we deal with ELBC/LBC;  and  
there are also more cleanups to be done - for example, there's still  
code that accesses lbc space not using IO accessors.  I've cleaned up  
the BR/OR cases, but I want to eventually fix it all.  Unfortunately,  
I'm out of time at this point.  This patch series is a significant  
step forward, but there's still more work to be done.

Cheers,
Becky
