The support for Acer PICA is a bit rotten which is probably the reason
for why we never ran on Netpower. The machine detection is in
arch/mips/arc/identify.c; you probably have to add an entry to the array
mach_table and maybe also entries to include/asm-mips/bootinfo.h. There
is probably more hacking required, I haven't heared of anybody running
Linux on a PICA in all eternity.
