I feel good being able to push romcc to the limit, and probably off the
cliff given what happened. :-P

Two of the MBSC bytes are common, at least for now. I'll try eliminating the
variables for them.

On further tries the problem seems to be with the use of |= operator on an
array item. Elsewhere in the original raminit code uses |= with a simple
variable and it doesn't seem to segfault.

But other than that, there are three conditions to check for, and the
registers cannot be finalized and written out until all three are done.

Thanks
Keith
