The problem is that we don't have the documentation for Ingenic's base instruction set. My understanding is that Craig established necessity of including non-MXU MUL into decode_opc_mxu() by experimentation, or by looking at Ingenic's toolchain source code. Note that CLZ, CLO, SDBBP are moved from SPECIAL2 to another place in opcode space in MIPS R6. Craig, can you offer any insight on CLZ, CLO, SDBBP in Ingenic's base instruction set? They are in SPECIAL2 opcode space for MIPS pre-R6. Worse come to worst, I recommend adding "TODO" comment to an appropriate place in decode_opc_mxu(), and go forward without handling CLZ, CLO, SDBBP - given that all changes in this series are just the first phase of implementing MXU support - they won't affect any production code at this moment. I appreciate your review, Aleksandar
