Identify the presence of the MIPS16e2 ASE as per the architecture specification[1], by checking for CP0 Config5.CA2 bit being 1[2].

Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxx> --- NB the designation of the CP0 Config5.CA2 bit has not yet made it to a published release of the architecture specification, so the definition in the interAptiv MR2 core manual will have to do for the time being.
