Right.  I've switched to using -march/-mtune for all cpu variants and
only using masks for turning on and off options. Parsing all of the
variants is done in mips.c.

Question: You're using MASK_MMX and MASK_MMX_SET. From a quick glance I
couldn't tell what the difference was (and I mean quick). The *_SET
appear to be taking up a lot of bits...

*shrug* You can just use whatever variable as a boolean here...
