MIPS targets broken by dummy frame/regcache changes


I get this backtrace on MIPS/Linux:

The problem is that you're copying the whole regcache blindly.  But there's
holes in it that we can't store.  I'm sure you remember register 72 - it
used to be the frame pointer; now it's a hole in the register cache.  We get
to it and try to write it, even though it doesn't exist.

I get the same thing for the next couple registers, up to 89.  For now I've
turned it down to a warning in my local tree...
