Some Cop0 registers are constant and have no side effects when read.
There is no need for the inline asm to read these to be marked
__volatile__, and doing so prevents them from being removed by the
compiler.
Add a few new accessor macros to handle these registers more efficiently
(especially for the sake of running in a guest where redundant access to
the register may trap to the hypervisor):
__read_const_32bit_c0_register()
__read_const_64bit_c0_register()
__read_const_ulong_c0_register()
