stwu is also often used for indexing by i in loops, I think it'd be better to just say it's stw but the resulting address is also stored to the address register

xoris isn't intended to be a copy, usually or rA, rB, rB would be used for that (with the mr instruction being a macro for that); xoris does a bitwise xor but with the immediate logically shifted left 16 bits first

I should probably mention that most of the definitions are based on the results I got from using the instructions in dolphin and in assemblers, xoris always copied one register to another, so that's what I put, I'm not sure how I could simplify the actual definition though. 

But I will definitely update the definition of "stwu". Thanks!
