microMIPS J & JAL instructions perform a jump in a 128MB region and 5
top bits of the address need to be preserved. This is different behavior
compared to standard mips systems, where the jump is executed within a
256MB region.
Note that microMIPS32 instruction set documentation appears to have
inconsistent information regarding JALX32 instruction - it is written in
the doc that:
"To execute a procedure call within the current 256 MB-aligned region
(...)
The low 26 bits of the target address is the target field shifted left
2 bits."
But the target address is already 26 bits. Moreover, the operation
description indicates that 28 bits are copied, so the statement about
use of 26 bits is _most likely_ incorrect and the corresponding code
remains the same as for standard mips instruction set.
