This seems fair, probably it would be good to have a comment mentioninmg what
the nop is for, fyi for context these are the nop numbers used to control
simulations.

#define NOP_NOP 0x0000 /* Normal nop instruction */
#define NOP_EXIT 0x0001 /* End of simulation */
#define NOP_REPORT 0x0002 /* Simple report */
/*#define NOP_PRINTF 0x0003 Simprintf instruction (obsolete)*/
#define NOP_PUTC 0x0004 /* JPB: Simputc instruction */
#define NOP_CNT_RESET 0x0005 /* Reset statistics counters */
#define NOP_GET_TICKS 0x0006 /* JPB: Get # ticks running */
#define NOP_GET_PS 0x0007 /* JPB: Get picosecs/cycle */
#define NOP_TRACE_ON 0x0008 /* Turn on tracing */
#define NOP_TRACE_OFF 0x0009 /* Turn off tracing */
#define NOP_RANDOM 0x000a /* Return 4 random bytes */
#define NOP_OR1KSIM 0x000b /* Return non-zero if this is Or1ksim */
#define NOP_EXIT_SILENT 0x000c /* End of simulation, quiet version */
/* New! */
#define NOP_RESET 0x000d /* Reset the cpu */

I will queue this once we update the spec to define some of these, I am thinking
if qemu should allow for the shutdown to work in user mode.

BTW, are you working specifically on openrisc? Or just setting up test
environments for all architectures?
