it has minimal support for mips32 release 2. In particular, it
recognizes the ISA name and can now generate the ISA's rotate
instructions. Support for the bit insert and extract, and the byte
shuffle isntructions is not yet implemented.

Probably yes; it's just software after all. Nobody's planning to do
it, though, AFAIK.

See the documentation on www.mips.com.
In their processor architecture documentation, they do document the
extensions in release 2.
