Recent tightening of the opcode table in binutils so as to consistently
disallow the assembly or disassembly of CP0 instructions not supported
by the processor architecture chosen has caused a regression like below:
arch/mips/dec/prom/locore.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/dec/prom/locore.S:29: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: r4600 (mips3) `rfe'
in a piece of code used to probe for memory with PMAX DECstation models,
which have non-REX firmware. Those computers always have an R2000 CPU
and consequently the exception handler used in memory probing uses the
RFE instruction, which those processors use.
While adding 64-bit support this code was correctly excluded for 64-bit
configurations, however it should have also been excluded for irrelevant
32-bit configurations. Do this now then, and only enable PMAX memory
probing for R3k systems.
