MIPS is a tier-2 platform so we can do things like this in a stable branch, especially given BERI's special nature. I'm unsure that my changes even work, so it's likely best we just do that. I don't know for sure it will make future MFCs easier, but there's a lot of copied code in it that I've centralized and fixed bugs in, and likely will continue to do so and definitely won't think to fix BERI when I MFC.
