If BMIPS is just a MIPS32 with no relevant extensions to the instruction
set, why don't you just call it a MIPS32 processor and use something
like CPU_MIPS32_R2?

It's small things like that which can sometimes avoid many unnecessary
recompilations which really saves times when rebuilding all defconfigs
on a way to slow machine :)
