In arm_tr_init_disas_context() we have a FIXME comment that suggests
"cpu_M0 can probably be the same as cpu_V0". This isn't in fact
possible: cpu_V0 is used as a temporary inside gen_iwmmxt_shift(),
and that function is called in various places where cpu_M0 contains a
live value (i.e. between gen_op_iwmmxt_movq_M0_wRn() and
gen_op_iwmmxt_movq_wRn_M0() calls). Remove the comment.
We also have a comment on the declarations of cpu_V0/V1/M0 which
claims they're "for efficiency". This isn't true with modern TCG, so
replace this comment with one which notes that they're only used with
the iwmmxt decode.
