I think that's a great idea — especially now that they have n32 and n64 support. Likewise for their PIC and GP macros. In general I'd hope to have time to spend cleaning up mips/include — I took a swipe at some KSEG related things, for example. There's a lot of duplication and a large number of vestigal interfaces, types and declarations. The duplication is especially worrying as we move towards 64-bit support, where a stray macro in an underused port can be terribly hard to track down as the source of corruption or invalid addresses.
