    target-mips: Fix CP0.Config3.ISAOnExc write accesses · 90f12d73

    Fix CP0.Config3.ISAOnExc write accesses on microMIPS processors.  This
    bit is mandatory for any processor that implements the microMIPS
    instruction set.  This bit is r/w for processors that implement both the
    standard MIPS and the microMIPS instruction set.  This bit is r/o and
    hardwired to 1 if only the microMIPS instruction set is implemented.
    
    There is no other bit ever writable in CP0.Config3 so defining a
    corresponding `CP0_Config3_rw_bitmask' member in `CPUMIPSState' is I
    think an overkill.  Therefore make the ability to write the bit rely on
    the presence of ASE_MICROMIPS set in the instruction flags.
    
    The read-only case of the microMIPS instruction set being implemented
    only can be added when we add support for such a configuration.  We do
    not currently have such support, we have no instruction flag that would
    control the presence of the standard MIPS instruction set nor any
    associated code in instruction decoding.
    
    This change is needed to boot a microMIPS Linux kernel successfully,
    otherwise it hangs early on as interrupts are enabled and then the
    exception handler invoked loops as its first instruction is interpreted
    in the wrong execution mode and triggers another exception right away.
    And then over and over again.
    
    We already check the current setting of the CP0.Config3.ISAOnExc in
    `set_hflags_for_handler' to set the ISA bit correctly on the exception
    handler entry so it is the ability to set it that is missing only.
