The Linux kernel already uses things like "pcaddi t0, 4".  To me this
change will break them completely, and fixing it on the kernel side will
be difficult (we'll need to create some nasty gas version check).

So I don't think we should make such a backward incompatible change
without a very compelling reason.  You may argue that "<<2" has a better
readability, but if we really need the readability we can write

pcaddi t0, 4 # << 2

in the code anyway.
