Well, those violations in the MIPS code are not strange:
they are simply errors in the code, so that comment should
say "Bugs in mips helper".

By the way, I also frequently compile with additional warnings
and use -Wextra (and -Wno-xxx for those errors which I don't
want to see because there are many many violations :-)).
That's how I found the MIPS errors - a patch was sent and is
waiting for reviewers (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/144478/).
