MIPS/opcodes: Do not use CP0 register names for control registers
The CP0 control register set has never been defined, however encodings
for the CFC0 and CTC0 instructions remained available for implementers
up until the MIPS32 ISA declared them invalid and causing the Reserved
Instruction exception[1]. Therefore we handle them for both assembly
and disassembly, however in the latter case the names of CP0 registers
from the regular set are incorrectly printed if named registers are
requested. This is because we do not define separate operand classes
for coprocessor regular and control registers respectively, which means
the disassembler has no way to tell the two cases apart. Consequently
nonsensical disassembly is produced like:
cfc0 v0,c0_random
Later the MIPSr5 ISA reused the encodings for XPA ASE MFHC0 and MTHC0
instructions[2] although it failed to document them in the relevant
opcode table until MIPSr6 only.
Correct the issue then by defining a new register class, OP_REG_CONTROL,
and corresponding operand codes, `g' and `y' for the two positions in
the machine instruction a control register operand can take. Adjust the
test cases affected accordingly.
While at it swap the regular MIPS opcode table "cfc0" and "ctc0" entries
with each other so that they come in the alphabetical order.
