On a slighty seperate subject would you be interested in working on a full
port to MIPS?  

Hmm.  Are you running little endian MIPS?  It just occured to me that
if you are big endian there might be some endian problems in the driver.

I have been working the codebase in the general direction of portability
with 5.1.2rc3.  The driver API is portable, and non-portable drivers should show
up on x86 for the most part.  The core codebase still needs porting.

On my wishlist I have x86-64, Itanium, and Alpha, but I don't know if I will
get to any of them.
