A 64-bit MIPS kernel is n64, not n32, so "unsigned long" in
binfmt_elfn32.c is actually a 64-bit type for registers (as expected).
I think this confirms that the other two n32 conditionals in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/procfs.h are incorrect, as they would
result in a field having the size it does for n64, not that for n32.
