They are, though really they should UNDEF if GCS isn't there (which I
had thought was what you were referencing here).  Equally we only have
traps for a subset of GCS instructions and it's not like there aren't a
whole bunch of untrappable extensions anyway so it's not clear it's
worth the effort just for that.
