Using get_address() with register identifiers comming from an "r" field
is wrong: if the "r" field designates "r0", we don't read the content
and instead assume 0 - which should only be applied when the register
was specified via "b" or "x".
PoP 5-11 "Operand-Address Generation":
"A zero in any of the B1, B2, X2, B3, or B4 fields indicates the absence
of the corresponding address component. For the absent component, a zero
is used in forming the intermediate sum, regardless of the contents of
general register 0. A displacement of zero has no special significance."
This BUG became visible for CSPG as generated by LLVM-12 in the upstream
Linux kernel (v5.11-rc2), used while creating the linear mapping in
vmem_map_init(): Trying to store to address 0 results in a Low Address
Protection exception.
Debugging this was more complicated than it could have been: The program
interrupt handler in the kernel will try to crash the kernel: doing so, it
will enable DAT. As the linear mapping is not created yet (asce=0), we run
into an addressing exception while tring to walk non-existant DAT tables,
resulting in a program exception loop.
This allows for booting upstream Linux kernels compiled by clang-12. Most
of these cases seem to be broken forever.
