We're still actually committing to the mips branch.  But we're happy
with the branch now, except for one issue that I'm fixing today.  Once
that's fixed, I plan on merging all the changes from the mips branch
into head, likely this week.

There may also be a back-port of the mips stuff to the stable/8 tree,
but that's still a little up in the air...  Plus there's likely to be
big changes to how the Octeon port is done too...
