Whilst I agree with changing our own definitions & filenames to use n64,
this macro actually reflects naming used by the toolchain. ie:

    $ mips-linux-gcc -mips64 -mabi=64 -dM -E - </dev/null | grep ABI64
    #define _ABI64 3
    #define _MIPS_SIM _ABI64

Our macro here is used to compare against _MIPS_SIM provided by the
toolchain, so for consistency I think we should keep the same name for
the macro that the toolchain uses.

And I realise that undoing that but keeping n64 in our own filenames &
macros is another type of inconsistency, but something imperfect is
unavoidable at this point given that the engineers way back when decided
to use "ABI64" for n64.

Thanks,
    Paul
