 Do we emulate them for MIPS I?  We do emulate "ll" and "sc" and adding 
"sync" is easy (as a no-op as support for R3000 SMP is unlikely to ever 
happen).  Adding branches-likely, hmm...  Even though we do have logic to 
do that as a part of the FP emulator.

 A workaround for a CPU erratum fits within the "-mfix-*" option family 
quite well though.
