I'll look at it later tonight. One thing that comes to mind though is
that MDMX hasn't been released as an official extension to the new
mips32/64 architectures (which is where you are getting the encodings
from), and I'd prefer not to include this until that time. Do you happen
to know when that might be? Until then we can call it an SB1 extension
to binutils for instructions that you have.

Anyhow, I'll finish looking over the patch later.
