[snip long list of other mips test files]

This patch seems to almost entirely be huge because of these
mips test case files. Are they specific to QEMU or are they
effectively a 3rd-party import that it doesn't make sense
to make local changes to?

I definitely don't think you should put manual tidying changes
in the same patch as 3000 lines of automated changes: that
is in my opinion un-reviewable.
