Test build still running - ENEEDMOREHORSEPOWER ;-)  So far
bcm63xx_defconfig, capcella_defconfig and cavium-octeon_defconfig build ok.

This is the firmware used by the systems built by MIPS Computer Systems Inc.
and a few very old SGI pre-ARC(S) systems, also some by Pyramid,
Siemens-Nixdorf and others.  It has nothing to do with YAMON.

And these use PMON 2000.  That you found possibilities to share code
beyond YAMON's realm is good but infecting non-YAMON platforms with
YAMON headers isn't.  I suggest to gather code that can kind of code
in arch/mips/lib or a new directory arch/mips/fw/lib.
