This adds NUM_REGS pseudo registers to the MIPS. These pseudo registers, unlike their raw counterparts are `sane'.

As it stands, it doesn't get save/restore right (it works but not by using the ABI registers). That can follow. I've figured out why save/restore wasn't working. It's a cooked vs raw thing - save the cooked registers but then manipulate the raw values. Need to audit the code :-/ Andrew
