 That's a global `.set reorder' for the whole of SAVE_SOME, just as I 
suggested for all the macros here.

 Then a temporary `.set noreorder' override follows just for the manually 
scheduled BLTZ/MOVE sequence, where someone has later inserted a whole 
CONFIG_EVA block.  As I noted this temporary override is unnecessary.  
Incidentally it does not harm the CONFIG_EVA block either, because EVA 
processors have MFC0 interlocked.

 NB I think the MFC0 macro ought to be called REG_MFC0, to avoid confusion 
and for consistency with the rest of such macros.
