Daniel, the patch adds a global variable "num_mips_processor_regs" vis:
!       tdep->mips_processor_reg_names = mips_irix_reg_names;
!       num_mips_processor_regs = sizeof (mips_irix_reg_names) / sizeof 
(char *);
and that can't be right :-(

Anyway, Fred, I'm wondering what motivated the change?  During one of my 
recent cleanups I considered adding register name descriptors like:
	const struct name_desc mips_generic_reg_name_desc = {
	  mips_generic_reg_names, ARRAY_SIZE (mips_generic_reg_names)
	};
(I guess that's valid C) but I eventually decided to sidestep the issue 
(well at least for the moment) and made all the arrays the same size.
