Ok, so I'm going merge my no-delay-slot version with the main version.
 I previously had it completely separate from the regular or1k code.

Right now my plan is to add another bit called ND to the SR register.
I suppose bit 17 isn't currently taken, so I'll use that one.  SR[ND]
will be zero for cores like the OR1200 that have a delay slot, and 1
for my core that doesn't have it.

I'll add 3 mode flags to gcc, -mbranch-delay, -mno-branch-delay, and
-mcompat-branch-delay.  -mbranch-delay will be the default for the
or1k arch.  -mno-branch-delay will be the default for the or1knd arch.
 -mcompat-branch-delay will work on either arch, and will just fill
all the delay slots with nops.

How does that sound?
