Pete Popov's mips/zboot is probably the most generic for MIPS,
though, it only was done for Alchemy's. See:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linux-mips/linux/arch/mips/zboot/
[I re-ported it to Korva and reduced much of the extraneous fluff
(both extra misc- source files and unneeded utils/), but its
never been checked into CVS.]
