Well, so far I've done it your way, and had it rejected by Andrew, and
I've done it Andrew's way and had it rejected by you. ;) I'd like to
make sure there's now some agreement before going ahead and updating
the original MIPS_MACH version.

So, Andrew, is it OK with you to have a bfd_mach check in mips.igen?
As per previous discussion, we'd have something like:

if (MIPS_MACH (SD) == bfd_mach_mips5500)
...

Even if it's not how you'd recommend it be done, is it at least
something you can accept?
