DescriptionMIPS: Branch delay slot and other optimizations.
List of changes:
-added a minor optimization to the Simulator that quickly skips nops in the delay slot
-slightly re-worked CEntryStub to save a few instructions
CEntryStub now expects the following values:
-s0: number of arguments including receiver
-s1: size of arguments excluding receiver
-s2: pointer to builtin function
Two new MacroAssembler functions were added to make usage more convenient:
-PrepareCEntryArgs(int num_args) to set up s0 and s1
-PrepareCEntryFunction(const ExternalReference&) to set up s2
-removed branch delay slot nops from the most frequently used code areas
-reorganized some code to execute fewer instructions
-utilized the delay slot of most Ret instructions
This does not cover all Rets, only the most obvious cases.
Also added a special version of DropAndRet that utilizes the delay slot.
-added some comments to code areas where explanation of the register/delay slot usage may be needed
-added an optimization to Jump so it doesn't always pre-load the target register
