mm16_r5_format.rt is 5 bits, so directly judge the value if equal or not.
mm_jalr_op requires 7th to 16th bits. These 10 which bits generated by
  The minor opcode extension field is comprised of bits 15:6, not 16:7 as
your description suggests.  Please be accurate with statements.

shifting u_format.uimmediate by 6 may be affected by sign extension.
  Why?  The `uimmediate' bit-field member is unsigned for a reason.  No
sign-extension is made on unsigned data with the right-shift operation.

Thus, take out the 10 bits for comparison.

Without this patch, errors may occur, such as these bits are all ones.
  How did you come to this conclusion?

  Code style changes should be submitted on their own as separate patches.

  You've now excluded JALR.HB, JALRS, and JALRS.HB instructions.  The mask
was there for a reason.  If you can't be bothered to verify microMIPS
changes say with QEMU, then at the very least please check documentation.
The intent of this code is clear and these instructions are even spelled
out explicitly in the comment at the top.
It's my fault. :-(

How amazing the opcode design is!

Thanks,
Jinyang
  Thomas, please revert this change as I can see you've already taken it.
It's plain wrong.
