arch/mips/setup.c

[Bryan Chua <chua@ayrnetworks.com>]

I recall a bunch of disussion about changing arch/mips/setup.c to 
simplify adding vendor-specific platform code in setup_arch, but to date 
nothing has come of it.  So while this is a dramatic oversimplification 
of the various proposals, how about this for now --
just a vendor-defined function "platform_setup (void)" and it is up to 
the vendor to figure out what to do from there.
