IP35, on the MIPS side, refers to the SGI Origin 300/3000 family and its
derivatives, including Fuel and Tezro.  Altix is basically just the ia64
version of an Origin 300/3000.

An experimental tree based on 2.6.34, which was a start on booting Linux on
these machines, is here:
http://git.linux-mips.org/?p=ralf/linux-ip35.git;a=summary

However, progress halted when the MAC address couldn't be properly found by
probing the machine.  I think OpenBSD figured this bit out, though, so maybe
IP35 support can get another look at some point.
