 To make myself more clear here -- there are two microMIPS BREAK encodings 
of which do_bp assumes (without checking!) the 32-bit one, that is 
actually unlikely to be ever present in compiler-generated code (so how 
was this change validated?), and also the MIPS16 path is special-cased 
(makes a separate call to do_trap_or_bp), which I find error-prone in 
long-term maintenance.
