mips newabi register naming conventions

There was conflicting content in the NewABI specification I was
following for this port, which caused me to get the mnemonics of some
registers wrong.  Unfortunately, a passage I had missed makes it
pretty clear that the table I'd followed was in error, and current
practice (except in GCC) actually matches the specification (barring
the error I'd followed).  This patch corrects the register naming
conventions, introduces additional register name aliases as mandated
by the specification, and adjusts the mips assembly code such that it
still assembles.  Ok to install?
