I find the manual a bit messy. It does say however:
"3.2.3 Instruction set mode
"Godson-2E processor implements a full feature MIPS III Instruction Set
Architecture (ISA) plus some MIPS IV ISA instructions, like paired single,
move condition and multiply add."

At least this trivial program:
int main(void)
{
asm volatile(".set push; .set mips4; movn $0,$0,$0; .set pop");
return 0;
}
does not trap on actual hardware. I may not be able to find time right
now for a more exhaustive test.
