I did get around to verifying that there's no regression
in that script, despite all the underlying mcr/mrc changes.


I'd like to hold off on such changes until the churn in arm920t.c
is resolved ... e.g. the current mess with cache stuff, and the
general confusion between CP15 access modes.

Likewise, those command should get the same kind of year-long
grace period as other commands:  deprecate first, issue runtime
warnings to users, then remove them a year after deprecation.

Otherwise we'd be in the position of just yanking commands
out from under their users, with no real notice.  Recall that
there can be a lot of out-of-tree users.  And that in these
cases, migrating to other commands is nontrivial.
