The instruction mnemonic "pwr" is invented here, I guess? I don't see that ever having been used elsewhere (e.g., binutils as doesn't support this yet?)
Seems okay, but just want to make sure we're not causing a compatibility issue.

Yes, the SPARC V8e manual did not provide a mnemonic for it so it is invented here. I have submitted a similar patch to binutils so I will hold this patch until the other one gets approved, in case someone wants me to change the name.

The partial write psr instruction is now part of binutils (https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=df28970).
