Good question, this seems to come from quite old code and is carried
forward. I did not immediately see why, might have been to avoid
another mtmsrd operation if we later want to set VSX.
But the rule seems to be to set MSR_VSX if both FP and VEC are set, so
this seems a bit odd. __msr_check_and_clear similarly clears VSX if we
clear FP, but not if we clear VEC.
I might be good to remove that logic or turn it into warnings and make
sure the callers do the right thing. Not sure.
Thanks,
Nick
