I am afraid that I won't have time to do much more than review your
change. Just reviewing changes right now is a struggle for me, so
do you think you could submit them officially?
I think there are two parts to this patch:

This patch is fine, and approved. Please just run it through the testsuite
before checking in. (can you remember to post a ChangeLog for it as well?)
The mips-tdep part can be treated independently. Although I don't see
any problem with it, and you updated it the same way I would have changed
it, I'm not sure about going against the comment:
> /* Map [gdbarch_num_regs .. 2*gdbarch_num_regs) onto the raw registers,
> but then don't make the raw register names visible. */
It looks fine to return "0" ... "31" as the names of the raw registers,
but I'd like someone with more experience with the mips target to confirm
it.

A little short comment explaining what this is about might be useful.

This comment needs to be removed or updated. If the comment next to
mips_gpr_numeric_names is clear enough, I think it can simply be
removed.
