I suppose this would be relevant for the n32 ABI, but initially we only
have o32 for the R5900. The (slightly outdated) patch series under review
is available here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/cover.1567326213.git.noring@nocrew.org/T/

Regarding cpu_has_64bit_gp_regs: another unusual aspect of the R5900 is
its 128-bit GPRs. :)
