Re: [RFA] MIPS: Introduce struct mips_regnums and accessors

[Andrew Cagney <ac131313@redhat.com>]

Kevin,

I think the struct contains too many redudnant fields.  Instead it can 
be be trimmed back to identify just the boundaries between the different 
register groups vis:

- gp0 (gp31?)
- fp0
- hi, lo
- pc
- various status registers
- others?

As for assigning meaning to specific registers (v0, a0, ...) within a 
group, offsets can be used vis:

	v0_regnum (regnums) === regnums->gp0 + offset;

With regard to having only 16 o32 FP registers, is that right?  Does it 
just confuse things?  Doesn't the o32 debug info assume a bank of 32 
contigious 32 bit registers?  A location expression for a double in 
``f0'' would be f0:f1 for instance.
