The attached patch essentially just copies what R12K does for R14K, and should
allow systems running an R14K CPU
actually boot. Granted, no machine currently in git can actually use R14K, but
the patch is generic and
non-invaisive, so I thought I'd shoot it to the list anyways. Minor notes
below.
1) Octane is the closest system that can run Linux that supports the
R14K CPU, but due to exhorbant prices, no one has, as of yet, managed
to get their hands on either a full R14K system or the CPU module
itself.
2) Due to item #1 above, this patch hasn't even been tested.
Comments Welcome.
