 Umm, I find this embarassing (and I hesitated reaching for a dictionary 
to double-check the spelling!).  Indeed why would this be different from 
subtrahend or minuend?

 Thomas, as this mistake has spread across three out of these patches,
both in change descriptions and actual code, would you mind dropping the 
series from mips-next altogether and I'll respin the series with all 
these issues corrected?
