 I set these values according to what I found in arch/mips/setup.c --
Tx39xx are marked as MIPS_CPU_ISA_I, but obviously if they still implement
"sync" as an extension they should be marked to enable the code that uses
it.  The patch should be applied as is anyway -- until it's clear if all
members of the Tx39xx family implement "sync", it's better to leave their
configuration in the current state.
