I think the patch is ready for submission after the following two issues are addressed (and after I tested it thoroughly):

1. loongson-specific instructions in the delay slot - I tend to agree with Petar that we should probably just revert these parts to the unoptimized version - a delay slot gain is probably not worth the possible problems due to having to maintain two versions of the same code.

2. the Jump optimization we talked about above - I just realized that this will probably interfere with the li+jr -> j optimization in Assembler::set_target_address_at (the one that turns jr into immediate jumps if pc and the address are in the same 256m segment). I think we should weigh the benefits of both methods and decide which one is more important.
