The values are currently unused.  The minimum precision used in
calling __mpexp is 6 in slowexp; e_log results in a minimum precision
of 8.

I eventually aim to remove them somehow an use m1p directly, but I
figured this would be a good intermediate step.  Adding computation to
get 2^-m is turning out to be a little more expensive currently than
the global variable dereference, so I'll try to figure out a cheaper
way.
