I took a quick look at this today.  It will take a bit of work to
sort this out as the format numbers generated by pa_ip are somewhat
inconsistent with those generated by bfd_hppa_insn2fmt.  The numbers
generated by pa_ip can't simply be changed to match bfd_hppa_insn2fmt
as they are used by elf_hppa_reloc_final_type.
