Your email client destroyed whitespace so the patch won't apply.
Also, please don't submit the ChangeLog entries as diffs (unless you
have CVS write privilege and can apply the patch yourself).

Don't invent unnecessary opcode flags.  You broke powerpc 476 with
this change.  It's fine to add a MULHW macro in ppc-opc.c which
combines existing flags to keep the opcode table formatted nicely.

E300 calls these registers pmr<n>, so your choice for titan might look
a little confusing to E300 programmers.  Also, the resulting
disassembly is that much harder to assemble.  I think I'd prefer you
not make this change.

Please resubmit the patch.
