 Hmm, this was contributed by ImgTec in 2016 only, so I guess there was no 
reason as such but merely the lack of care about older systems (mind that 
those people really didn't have any at that point).  The option to enable 
this code is only available for R2 and newer CPUs so at least we are safe.
