Yeah, thought about that, as some functions that were duplicated in the tree in 
many of the arch ports got moved from their respective asm-$arch to asm-generic, 
and appropriate tweaks added to compensate for these changes.  I remember 
something from bitops stuff changed, but I'll be blasted if I can remember what. 
  Probably gonna have to get some help from the Octane port author and some of 
the other mips hackers to try and trace down some of these changes (i.e., seems 
mips asm-offsets.c gets something weird done to it by gcc now when I run a git 
bisect and try to build it, which breaks a few of the asm files -- makes testing 
the bisect somewhat fun).
