Yes, there is. It is called implicitly, by mips32_pracc_read_mem().
Anyway, count parameter is propagated.
Looking in the mips_m4k_read_memory() you can easily see that it is
used to count __BYTES__ :

t = malloc(count * size * sizeof(uint8_t));

Yes. Size of variable does not meter. It is a placeholder for integer
- a number. This number, however, can be a number of apples, ducks or,
as in this case - bytes.

Yes. 'size' is the "acces width" : w, hw or b. Independantly, 'count'
is nb of bytes.

'size' parameter is used in the switch in mips32_pracc_read_mem() in
order to call correct miniprogram - one that reads w, hw or b.

Sorry, but everything is there, written black on white (or whatever
syntax coloring you use ;)).
You'll just have to inspect the code more carefully and follow the
call graph. Use cscope, if that will help you.

As a hint follow the propagation of "count" parameter - find it's
origin and you'll see that it holds a nb of octets.
