 This looks good to me if not obviously correct, however for consistency 
please apply the same change to the virtually the same code sequence 
further down the file, used for MIPSr1 builds.

 For the record -- it looks to me there needs to be `.insn' right after 
`1:' to ensure nothing strange happens in a microMIPS compilation.  We 
don't know for sure what GCC puts after the asm but we do want to ensure 
the target of the jump has the ISA bit set correctly.  It needs to be a 
separate change of course.

 Thanks,

  Maciej
