these patches are tested a lot by test-suite but
make check tests are forthcoming once the next
few patches that complete this are committed.
with the next few patches the pass rate for mips16 is
near 100%

physical register $r1 to $r0.
GNU disassembler recognizes an "or" instruction as a "move", and this change
makes the disassembled code easier to read.

Mips16 is really a processor decoding mode (ala thumb 1) and in the same
program, mips16 and mips32 functions can exist and can call each other.
If a jal type instruction encounters an address with the lower bit set, then
the processor switches to mips16 mode (if it is not already in it). If the
lower bit is not set, then it switches to mips32 mode.
The linker knows which functions are mips16 and which are mips32.
When relocation is performed on code labels, this lower order bit is
set if the code label is a mips16 code label.
In general this works just fine, however when creating exception handling
tables and dwarf, there are cases where you don't want this lower order
bit added in.
This has been traditionally distinguished in gas assembly source by using a
different syntax for the label.
lab1: ; this will cause the lower order bit to be added
lab2=. ; this will not cause the lower order bit to be added
In some cases, it does not matter because in dwarf and debug tables
the difference of two labels is used and in that case the lower order
bits subtract each other out.
To fix this, I have added to mcstreamer the notion of a debuglabel.
The default is for label and debug label to be the same. So calling
EmitLabel and EmitDebugLabel produce the same result.
For various reasons, there is only one set of labels that needs to be
modified for the mips exceptions to work. These are the "$eh_func_beginXXX"
labels.
Mips overrides the debug label suffix from ":" to "=." .
This initial patch fixes exceptions. More changes most likely
will be needed to DwarfCFException to make all of this work
for actual debugging. These changes will be to emit debug labels in some
places where a simple label is emitted now.

In this case, essentially it is soft float with different library routines.
The next step will be to make this fully interoperational with mips32 floating
point and that requires creating stubs for functions with signatures that
contain floating point types.
I have a more sophisticated design for mips16 hardfloat which I hope to
implement at a later time that directly does floating point without the need
for function calls.
The mips16 encoding has no floating point instructions so one needs to
switch to mips32 mode to execute floating point instructions.

load / store pair. It's not legal to use a wider load than the size of
the remaining bytes if it's the first pair of load / store.

We will make them delay slot forms if there is something that can be
placed in the delay slot during a separate pass. Mips16 extended instructions
cannot be placed in delay slots.

Previously mips16 was sharing the pattern addr which is used for mips32
and mips64. This had a number of problems:
1) Storing and loading byte and halfword quantities for mips16 has particular
problems due to the primarily non mips16 nature of SP. When we must
load/store byte/halfword stack objects in a function, we must create a mips16
alias register for SP. This functionality is tested in stchar.ll.
2) We need to have an FP register under certain conditions (such as
dynamically sized alloca). We use mips16 register S0 for this purpose.
In this case, we also use this register when accessing frame objects so this
issue also affects the complex pattern addr16. This functionality is
tested in alloca16.ll.
The Mips16InstrInfo.td has been updated to use addr16 instead of addr.
The complex pattern C++ function for addr has been copied to addr16 and
updated to reflect the above issues.

Currently, it is enabled only if option "enable-mips-tail-calls" is given and
all of the callee's arguments are passed in registers.
