Then we'll have more explicit sized macros.

I also think that any use of .set <arch> should have a descriptive reason.
The .set mips3 in lock_stubs.S:mutex_enter is probably for LL/SC.  I prefer
LL/SC to be enclosed something like LLSC_PROLOGUE / LLSC_EPILOGUE (like
REG_PROLOGUE / REG_EPILOGUE) and let .set mips3 at the top of the file go
away.
