Actually we will be sending them to the SGI tree. In fact once the device
drivers are well tested and they work they will be the easiest to get into
the main mips tree. It is any changes to the core mips code that will need
to thought out since it can effect other devices using mips. These would
have to be discussed.

I agree about the drop in tree stuff. The most important thing is we
maintain patches against the SGI and linus trees and post them.
