GAS will happily schedule any instruction into a branch delay slot as
long as the instruction is not architecturally forbidden there (e.g.
ERET), there is no data dependency with the branch that would affect the
result produced and the instruction is not an explicit exception trap
operation (BREAK, SYSCALL, TEQ, etc.). For some reason, unknown to me all
MT ASE instructions are disallowed too. Anything else -- free to go in!
Of course instructions can be scheduled into branch delay slots manually
too, in handcoded assembly, and that has to continue working.
