SGI MIPSpro N32 assembler macros

According to "MIPSpro N32 ABI Handbook", they have
macros which
support writing portable (== ABI-neutral) assembler code,
like REG_L
and SETUP_GP.  src/sys/arch/mips/include/asm.h has some
definitions
but it's very incomplete.

The question is, do we want the complete set of macros of
SGI MIPSpro?
 If so, where can I find the (complete) reference?

I think we do want the complete set of these macros.  The
Linux
and Irix header files that define these are very similar
but
not exactly the same - the macro names are the same but
they're
reordered.

I don't think it should be too hard to cobble together
something similar
for our <mips/asm.h> ...
