Ah yeah, I forgot to say: I'd deliberately left fixed-point support
off the list because I thought we'd want it in the C section instead.
I realise the infrastructure has only been ported to MIPS so far, but
seeing as it's an implementation of a cross-target standard, I thought
it was much more general than anything else on the MIPS-specific list.
(The only vaguely comparable item might be the target-independent
changes for the "nomips16" and "mips16" support. However, unlike the
fixed-point support, the user-visible manifestation of those changes
is very target-specific.)
It's Gerald's call though. If the consensus is that it should go
in the MIPS section, your patch is fine by me.
