When testing I see that this patch does not compile, but later patches
remove the offending code so it compiles again.

It needs this:

I've fixed it up in my tree, but I don't know yet if I'm getting anywhere with
this as my PB11MPCore refuse to boot with these patches. I'm trying to
find the problem...
