I think that's a great idea — especially now that they have n32 and
n64 support.  Likewise for their PIC and GP macros.

In general I'd hope to have time to spend cleaning up mips/include — I
took a swipe at some KSEG related things, for example.  There's a lot
of duplication and a large number of vestigal interfaces, types and
declarations.  The duplication is especially worrying as we move
towards 64-bit support, where a stray macro in an underused port can
be terribly hard to track down as the source of corruption or invalid
addresses.
