MIPS does define it as well.  I have all the old o32 docs, but have
had trouble locating the n32/n64 docs since they were done by SGI and
SGI is now defunct.  I know MIPS Technologies has information on nubi,
which is yet another ABI family aimed more at the embedded platforms,
but it hasn't had much traction.
