d80e20a1c3 tcp/mips: Change TCG_AREG0 (fp -> s0)
Register fp (frame pointer) is a bad choice for compilations
without optimisation, because the compiler makes heavy use
of this register (so the resulting code crashes).

Register s0 had been used for TCG_AREG1 in earlier releases,
but was no longer used and is now free for TCG_AREG0.

The resulting code works for compilations without
optimisation (tested with qemu mips in qemu mips
on x86 host).

afa05235a5 tcg: initial mips support
Based on a patch from Arnaud Patard (Rtp) <arnaud.patard@rtp-net.org>

A few words about design choices:
* Two registers, at and t0, are reserved for TCG internal use. They are
  useful for bswap and 64-bit ops.
* Most ops supports a constant argument with value 0, which is actually
  mapped to the zero register.
* While the at register is available for constant loading, ops only
  support a limited range of constants. TCG does a better job doing the
  register allocation and constant loading by itself. There are plenty of
  registers available anyway.
