Emmanuel,

setregs() calls setregs_o32() which calls setregs1() which does exactly
what setregs() used to do!!
This makes the common case suffer thru 2 extra function calls that do
absolutely nothing.

Could you not stick with the original setregs() and have setregs_{o,n}32
call it directly???  This removes 2 levels of function calls when
executing NetBSD binaries.

setregs_{o,n}32 may be better suited in the compat_irix sources which is
the reason for the requirement.

setting MIPS3_SR_XX may not be necessary - if I am decoding the bits
correctly it enables co-processor 3, which doesn't exist.
