 Accepted, thank you.

 Me too, however I can't guarantee we'll always agree just as I couldn't 
agree with you on this occasion.  In which case I'd rather keep the 
functional bits and let you do with the corresponding manual updates 
whatever you want to, than drop everything.

 I have now extracted them and provided below, for a reference.  I have 
now committed them assuming that anything you have proposed has been 
self-approved.  I'll be providing the rest with the final version of the 
microMIPS change separately as soon as I have committed it straight away.

 The following @code{g}/@code{G} packets have previously been defined.
 In the below, some thirty-two bit registers are transferred as
 sixty-four bits.  Those registers should be zero/sign extended (which?)
 to fill the space allocated.  Register bytes are transferred in target
 byte order.  The two nibbles within a register byte are transferred
-most-significant - least-significant.
+most-significant -- least-significant.
 
 @table @r
 
 @item MIPS32
-
 All registers are transferred as thirty-two bit quantities in the order:
 32 general-purpose; sr; lo; hi; bad; cause; pc; 32 floating-point
 registers; fsr; fir; fp.
 
 @item MIPS64
-
 All registers are transferred as sixty-four bit quantities (including
 thirty-two bit registers such as @code{sr}).  The ordering is the same
 as @code{MIPS32}.
