  MIPS has an internal MIPS64 DSP spec verison 3.00, but hasn't released yet.
The version 3.00 spec is quite different from the previous version.
The best for now is to assume all MIPS32 DSP r1/DSP r2 instructions appear in
the MIPS64 DSP r1/DSP r2 spec, and to not support any new instructions in GCC/Binutils.
People can just extend GNU SIM supports to execute MIPS32 DSP r1/DSP r2 instructions on MIPS64.
For Jia Liu, could you just hold your patch for a while, and work on testing/supporting existing
DSP instructions on MIPS64?  Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Chao-ying
