  1. Power ISA version 3.0B defines this bit as something set in hardware to be zero, and warns against changing it.
  2. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E defines this as SPV - SP/Embedded Floating-Point/Vector Available
  3. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E calls this External Enable
  4. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E calls this Machine Check Enable
  5. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E defines this as Implementation-dependent
  6. 6.0 6.1 Power ISA version 3.0B defines bits 53 and 54 together as TE - Trace Enable - and defines having both bits set as reserved
  7. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E defines this as DE - Debug Interrupt Enable
  8. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E defines this as IS - Instruction Address Space
  9. Power ISA version 2.07 Book III-E defines this as DS - Data Address Space
