mips64 n32/n64 register naming conventions

Since n32 and n64 use registers $8-$11 as additional argument-passing
registers, instead of as temporaries, the naming conventions have
changed.  This patch adjusts the macros used to map the mnemonics to
the hardware register numbers, and makes up for (ab)uses of the old
names in a few assembly files.  Ok to install?
