Currently we have at total of 416 registers defined, including the
standard mips architecture registers.  However that includes an
individual register for every element of each matrix register, each of
which holds 16 32-bit values.  I'm working on redefining the register
set more like how the MMX and Altivec registers work, where $m0 is a
single register instead of 16 individual registers ($m0_00,
... $m0_15).

Not yet, though AFAIK that doesn't prevent me from submitting simple
bug fixes of only a few lines (particularly if they are relatively
generic) and having them accepted, unless the policy has changed
recently.  I expect no problem with getting a disclaimer at some point
in the near future to include all our changes.
