This was a mistake on my part.

Ditto.

And there was another removal for BERI support I shouldn't have done.

I'll be pushing changes to revert those three changes. I've also decided to
push
my MFC notes to make this easier in the future. This merge was hard enough
and even though I checked it multiple times, I still missed these. This
should help
make it easier in the future (which I plan on doing more often).

Please let me know if I've missed anything else. I did yet another scan of
the commits,
and didn't see any others, but things are easy to miss. We also don't have
any mips
booting tests, though we have them for most of our other supported
platforms (though
I need to finish moving from rootgen.sh to full-test.sh).
