 FYI, GCC has this:

/* The ISA revision level.  This is 0 for MIPS I to V and N for
   MIPS{32,64}rN.  */
int mips_isa_rev;

and this:

      if (mips_isa < 32)
	mips_isa_rev = 0;
      else
	mips_isa_rev = (mips_isa & 31) + 1;

and then:

      if (mips_isa_rev > 0)						\
	builtin_define_with_int_value ("__mips_isa_rev",		\
				       mips_isa_rev);			\

so your proposal looks like the right approach to me.  I think we should 
have the various target macros documented in the GCC manual.
