MIPS R2 emulation doesn't take into account that BLEZL and BGTZL instructions
require register RT = 0. If it is not zero it can be some legitimate MIPS R6
instruction.
Problem happens after emulation optimization then emulation routine tries
to pipeline emulation and after emulation of one instruction it picks up
a next candidate. In single pass strategy it does not happen because CPU
doesn't trap on branch-compacts which share opcode space with BLEZL/BGTZL
(but has RT != 0, of course).

Well, it *is* rather than just can be -- one of BLEZC/BGEZC/BGEC or
BGTZC/BLTZC/BLTC, respectively, according to the bit patterns in RS/RT,
all these instructions being compact branches, so we can stop emulation
rather than decoding them.
Also please line-wrap your description at 75 columns, as per
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Is this because of BRANCH_LIKELY_TAKEN? It has to be a separate patch
then, with a suitable description.

Please add:
/* Fall through. */
here so that it is clear it's not a bug; also GCC 7 will catch such cases
and issue warnings, which I expect according to our settings will cause a
build failure here if this is missing.

This part looks fine to me otherwise.
