Can you change this to be $acc instead of $ac? It'll match with other
targets better.

The MIPS DSP architecture manual uses the $ac syntax, it's also been used by other toolchain companies who have updated their assemblers to support the DSP ASE, and there's now quite a significant amount of DSP assembler code written by various parties which will be using $ac. I'd prefer it if we could stick with $ac but, if you insist, then would supporting both $ac and $acc as aliases be acceptable?
