Is that what is going on here? I though this was the long standing
problem that MIPS has some global define for RST so the macro that
string pastes that in, no longer pastes in the letters RST but some
value instead.

It has somewhat been on my radar to fix at some point, but I have
in general been a little unsure how to proceed. RST feels like
a mega over generic macro name to be exporting, so in some ways
feels like fixing that would be nice. On the other side, renaming
the register on the Lochnagar side would be very easy, although it
would mean the register naming no longer matches all the hardware
documentation which would be kinda lame.

Thanks,
