Yes, aside of cosmetic issues this is looking good.  The cosmetic issue
is that there are lots of useless dot-ops in the inline assembler.  That
could be reduced to just .set mips2 before the SYNC and .set mips0 after.

There are some considerations wrt. to the MT ASE so I've bounced a few
emails around in the meantime but that's nothing that should stop merging
this patch with the rest of the perf patches.
