Good to see support for mips hardware out there.
Are this support present in mips32r5 or in mips64r2?

Or is it a new extension?
For what I read, it says reduce size in memory up to 40%, but I didn't read enough to understand if they are talking about ram, or code size..

the commit is from CIP United, a MIPS licensor.
some clients need some optimizations for Interaptiv MR2 cores.
