SubjectRe: [PATCH v1 4/5] powerpc/44x: Fix build failure with GCC 12 (unrecognized opcode: `wrteei')

The original 440 had a very short pipeline. Later IBM 4xx have a longer
pipeline. Getting this right (with -mtune=, or just with -mcpu=) is
important for performance. So, no?

-mcpu= is used as the default for -mtune=, so that is always a
consideration. PPC464 is treated the same as PPC440 in binutils as
well, so I don't think there is any issue there.
