Phew - I'd say just keep the targets you don't know exactly as they are :). 
That way you at least don't break anything that wasn't broken before.

For the targets where you do know better (like 7x0), change its behavior to be 
correct according to the respective spec.

All I have are a number of core specs, but I really only have a fraction of 
what QEMU implements. Most of that code heavily predates me. I don't think 
there's any document that contains information for multiple different cores.
