Branch likey instructions are explicitly marked deprecated for MIPS32/MIPS64, although they're still present in XBurst cores and show a little benefit to use them even when branch target buffer (BTB) is enabled. These instructions are disabled by default in GCC for mips32 mips32r2 targets. Let's enable them. Signed-off-by: Siarhei Volkau <[email protected]>

Enabling them shows a little (~0.2 - 0.5%) speedup for non-profiled applications.
