This patch series tries to bring the support for MIPS up to date and make it more generic (fix little-endian support, simplify code for 32/64 bit handling), as well as to clean up some existing incorrect code (patches 1-4). Patches 5 & 6 add new functionality - passing external DTBs and initrd, especially the DTB support is required for platforms that use a recently introduced generic kernel infrastructure. Note that patch 5 (and 6, as it depends on patch 5) require changes in the kernel that are currently pending review: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14615/ Core dump support is currently broken on all MIPS kernels and is also pending review: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14587/ https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14586/ Patches 1-4 can be safely added without waiting for kernel patches to be merged, but patches 5-6 should be held until the kernel patches are accepted in case changes are requested.
