Yes, they're all documented.   PALcode hacking is not impossible, but
it's definitely deep hardware wizardry - don't expect it to be easy.
Also, the assembler isn't well-tested WRT PALcode ops, so if you tweak
things, you could run into bugs.

I think it would be swell if somebody did this, and I think it's
definitely doable, but if you don't have a lot of free time, it's
going to take you a while, so don't put it on your critical path.
