If #7 would only affect the R4700 the world would peachy ...  To my
knowledge the dusty box here in a corner is the only R4700 that ever ran
Linux ...

Under a different bug number this bug also affects the R4600 V1.x; it's
fixed in post-2.0 R4600 (which all identify as 2.0) and post-1.1 R4700.
Since a workaround may be a bit performance sensitive I think I'll try if
it can be probed for reliably.
