[fpc-devel] Some Opcodes missing in internal assembler for mips32r2

[Michael Ring]

I did have a look at mips-opc.c in binutils, this looks easy to parse, I 
will give this a try, thank you for the hint!

I will come back to you with a 2nd version, looks like a nice task to 
complete while sitting in the train....
