Putting a whole tree in CVS will make it a maintenance nightmare, and take
away from real development time. If certain items (like pcmcia) need to be
added into the tree, they should be added in as they're needed.

Importing an entire tree so development can be done on some small part of
the tree seems kind of wasteful. If patches for the small parts (outside of
the MIPS portion of the kernel, such as drivers) are necessary, then it'd
be more beneficial to try and get them pushed into Linus' tree then worry
about dragging them around in our tree..
