NAK.  r0 comes from the CPU specific file.  It is up to the CPU
specific support file to decide what setting is appropriate.  For
example, a CPU not implementing the I bit will require this bit to
be preserved, rather than being explicitly written as one or zero.

The ifdefs here are just disable-overrides for that, primerily to allow
testing of new CPUs.
