Excellent idea.

In case it's not obvious to others, "stw,o" is an alias
for "stw,ma" with a Zero index value. But PA11 assembler
will grok the stw,ma properly.

I'll look at getting this into the kernel this week if someone
else doesn't beat me to it.  I'd like to test what I've got a bit
more now and get the binutils .deb availability issue resolved.
