[PATCH] MIPS/doc: Fix `d' constraint description

[PATCH] MIPS/doc: Fix `d' constraint description

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Revert a part of the `d' constraint documentation update made with 
commit 111868 ("Use define_constraint for MIPS"), 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-03/msg00460.html>, 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-03/msg00541.html>, which 
inadvertently made the registers covered to be referred to as "address" 
rather than "general-purpose" registers, and then further clarify the 
set of registers allowed with MIPS16 code.

	gcc/
	* config/mips/constraints.md (d): Fix documentation.
	* doc/md.texi (Machine Constraints): Update accordingly.

 OK to apply?
