I don't remember mips very well, LW cannot be put in the delay slot? 
This would let you fill both delay slots for the 64-bit case.  Or is it 
just that the code becomes harder to follow due to the TARGET_LONG_BITS 
== 64 "if"s?

Alternatively, for 64-bit you could use OR+BNE instead of BNE+NOP+BNE. 
Of course this can be done later, this patchset is already a big 
improvement.

Same here.
