   Would've been god to somehow document it too...

   Macro defs inside function, isn't that er... too much?
And don't we already have macro M() doing exactly what these two macros are doing?

Hmmm, why we need another version of i_MFC0? After looking at the currecnt code it seemed to me that i_M[FT]C0 are just using i_[d]m[ft]c0 incorrectly -- those are difined to have 3 opcode args (by being built as I_u1u2u3() but only get passed 2 args. Hmm, I don't understand how i_[d]m[ft]c0() invocations used to work before since they're alsway passing only 2 opcode args where 3 are requiered...
   Ah, that must be due to those tricky macros above -- with commas inside.
David, then this trickery is unacceptable -- add the needed macro instead; and there's no need to use i_M[FT]C0() on a 32-bit only CPU, just use i_m[ft]c0().

+    i_ori(p, K0, K0, (1<<14));
+
+    **p = MTC0(K0, C0_CONFIG, 7);
+    (*p)++;

   So, this also won't do.
