When disassembling InstructionTLBError we get the following messy code:

For a cleaner code dump, this patch replaces itlbie and dtlbie
symbols by numeric symbols.

c000138c: 7d 84 63 78 mr r4,r12
c0001390: 75 25 58 00 andis. r5,r9,22528

You could use a local symbol, something like:

Thanks for the tip, I sent v2
