 Thanks for your contribution.  Overall your change is good, but has a few 
small problems, including but not limited to formatting.  Please make the 
adjustments as requested below.  I realise that you may have copied from 
or modelled your code after pieces elsewhere that have coding problems, 
however new submissions should follow the GNU coding standard even if the 
existing code base has problems with that.

 Where is the INFO argument supplied?  It looks to me like it can be 
removed, please do so (if you have a follow-up change that needs it, then 
fold it into there).

 This function doesn't seem to logically belong between mips_abi and 
mips_isa_regsize, and is only used by isocteonbitinsn.  Please move it 
down to immediately precede isocteonbitinsn.

 Please add a short comment before the function, explaining what it does 
(even if it might seem obvious).

 Two spaces after the full stop.  Add an extra line between the comment 
and the function definition.

 The naming convention is to use underscores in function names, this would 
have to be is_octeon_bit_insn (but see below).

 Add an extra line after the last block variable definition.

 However, it seems to me is_octeon_bit_insn would be a bit cleaner if it 
operated on op already extracted as this is how 
mips32_instruction_has_delay_slot and mips32_next_pc generally operate, 
please convert it, renaming to is_octeon_bit_op.

 Indentation, both lines -- please convert each 8 spaces to tabs.

 Insert an empty line after the last block variable definition.

 Please pay attention to correct comment formatting (start with a capital 
letter, end with a full stop, followed by two spaces), preexisting 
breakage is not an excuse.  Also indentation is botched in the last 7 
lines -- please convert each 8 spaces to tabs (also before the comment) 
and add a missing leading space in the second last line.

 Make it:

  if (is_octeon_bit_op (op))
    return 1;
  else if ((inst & 0xe0000000) != 0)
