Things to tackle in the MIPS space?

Now that I've pushed a lot of my Octeon startup work (and some general cleanups), I'd like to start moving into more beefy work.

There are a couple of TODO list items (and one or two not on the list) that strike my fancy:

1) USB support. The list says "a driver using the simple exec was committed, but". I suspect the "but" it "but it doesn't work.
2) Ehternet support. Also apparently broken, although I know little about ENET and PHYs and such. We do  have people here who do though.
3) FDT. This is something I expect to be actively working on in the immediate future. Other than JC's work on XLP, is there any action here?
4) General SoC/Chip/Platform cleanup. This is something I always like working on, although given my new-ness to FreeBSD perhaps not a best choice?
5) Another Octeon bootstrap. When I initially discussed my bootstrap/bootinfo changes, there was some thought about offering up my bootstrap. It's kind of specific-purpose, but there are parts that could be adapted into a nice embedded Octeon bootstrap platform.
