There is also a form of mtmsr where all bits need to be addressed. While the PPC64 Linux kernel behaves resonably well here, the PPC32 one never uses the
L=1 form but does mtmsr even for simple things like only changing EE.

You make it sound like the 32-bit kernel does something stupid, while
there is no other choice.  The "L=1" thing only exists for 64-bit.

Oh, so that's why :). That doesn't really change the fact that it's very hard to distinguish between a mtmsr that only changes MSR_EE vs one that changes MSR_IR for example :).
