[PATCH, MIPS] Compact branch support for MIPS32R6/MIPS64R6

2015-07-22 Thread Matthew Fortune
A full range of 'compact' branch instructions were introduced to MIPS as part of Release 6. The compact term is used to identify the fact that these do not have a delay slot. http://imgtec.com/mips/architectures/mips64/ The one subtlety of compact branches is that while they do not have a delay s
