IIRC a lot of the registers are supervisor only, e.g. VR, NPC or SR and

When I last discussed this on the openrisc list, back in March, there was no
real specification for user mode, and what bits are or should be accessible.
Looking at
http://opencores.org/or1k/Architecture_Specification
today, that still seems to be the case.
In the meantime, dropping the privilege check makes linux-user GCC tests work
better.
