I suggest that we don't -- we still officially support binutils
2.12 and
have other places where we even use `.word' to insert instructions
current
versions of binutils properly handle. It may be worth noting in a
comment
though that these encodings correspond to these operations that you
named.
Surely the other MIPSr6 instructions are not supported in binutils
2.12 either. So if it is for r6, why not require modern tools, and
put something user readable in here?
No, it can be used for MIPS R2 also.
