I haven't tested it but...

Where is the handling for:

case cop1_op:

#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON
case lwc2_op: /* This is bbit0 on Octeon */
case ldc2_op: /* This is bbit032 on Octeon */
case swc2_op: /* This is bbit1 on Octeon */
case sdc2_op: /* This is bbit132 on Octeon */
#endif

These are all defined in insn_has_delayslot() but not here.
