FWIW, I added MIPS32R2 instructions to my local copy while keeping the
CPU a MIPS32R1 4k. This is enough to boot a R2 Linux kernel, and it
should also be good enough to run a R2 userland.
I used the generic architecture spec, currently without using a specific
implementation (the latter would be nice for watchpoints and performance
registers, which are implementation specific).

Probably with an additional switch "emulate everything we know about",
which would be especially useful for usermode emulation where CPU
specifics don't matter that much.
