PABITS are not hardcoded to 36 bits and we do not model 59 PABITS (which is
the architectural limit) in QEMU.
Backports commit 28b027d5b63c7550c7390041d6dd50948c8f55b8 from qemu
This relatively small architectural feature adds the following:
FIR.FREP: Read-only. If FREP=1, then Config5.FRE and Config5.UFE are
available.
Config5.FRE: When enabled all single-precision FP arithmetic instructions,
LWC1/LWXC1/MTC1, SWC1/SWXC1/MFC1 cause a Reserved Instructions
exception.
Config5.UFE: Allows user to write/read Config5.FRE using CTC1/CFC1
instructions.
Enable the feature in MIPS64R6-generic CPU.

Save MSACSR state. Also remove fp_status, msa_fp_status, hflags and restore
them in post_load() from the architectural registers.
Float exception flags are not present in vmstate. Information they carry
is used only by softfloat caller who translates them into MIPS FCSR.Cause,
FCSR.Flags and then they are cleared. Therefore there is no need for saving
them in vmstate.

Add the M14K and M14Kc processors from MIPS Technologies that are the
original implementation of the microMIPS ISA. They are dual instruction
set processors, implementing both the microMIPS and the standard MIPSr32
ISA.
These processors correspond to the M4K and 4KEc CPUs respectively,
except with support for the microMIPS instruction set added, support for
the MCU ASE added and two extra interrupt lines, making a total of 8
hardware interrupts plus 2 software interrupts. The remaining parts of
the microarchitecture, in particular the pipeline, stayed unchanged.
The presence of the microMIPS ASE is is reflected in the configuration
added. We currently have no support for the MCU ASE, including in
particular the ACLR, ASET and IRET instructions in either encoding, and
we have no support for the extra interrupt lines, including bits in
CP0.Status and CP0.Cause registers, so these features are not marked,
making our support diverge from real hardware.

Add the 5KEc and 5KEf processors from MIPS Technologies that are the
original implementation of the MIPS64r2 ISA.
Silicon for these processors has never been taped out and no soft cores
were released even. They do exist though, a CP0.PRId value has been
assigned and experimental RTLs produced at the time the MIPS64r2 ISA has
been finalized. The settings introduced here faithfully reproduce that
hardware.
As far the implementation goes these processors are the same as the 5Kc
and the 5Kf CPUs respectively, except implementing the MIPS64r2 rather
than the original MIPS64 instruction set. There must have been some
updates to the CP0 architecture as mandated by the ISA, such as the
addition of the EBase register, although I am not sure about the exact
details, no documentation has ever been produced for these processors.
The remaining parts of the microarchitecture, in particular the
pipeline, stayed unchanged. Or to put it another way, the difference
between a 5K and a 5KE CPU corresponds to one between a 4K and a 4KE
CPU, except for the 64-bit rather than 32-bit ISA.
