Subject: [PATCH 2/3] MIPS: Correct the 64-bit DSP accumulator register size

Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator 
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and 
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations 
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context 
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing 
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or 
general-purpose register accesses.

Hi,

 I have no 64-bit DSP hardware handy to verify this change, however some 
surely exists and is used to run Linux, as indicated by GDB PR gdb/22286, 
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22286>, so we better get 
it right before people start screaming.

  Maciej
