Oh, wonderful... I've reported that now, hopefully it gets fixed soon...

Somewhere I have a patch that adds all the IIDR stuff needed for this, 
but I never sent it upstream since the erratum itself was an early 
MMU-600 one which in practice doesn't matter. I'll dig that out and 
update it with what I have in mind.
