LGTM. Thanks for fixing.

In these cases, much of the code changes if the customization inside `computeFSAdditions()` is removed because we would no longer be using crbits pre-P8.
hmm, OK, then we still have the same issue that this patch fixes for pre-POWER8. I'm ok with leaving it for now as IMO Power7/Power6 should not be major versions for PowerPC.
