For years there have been no microMIPS cores designed for the Malta
platform. Only now since you are trying to use microMIPS on QEMU is this
an issue. It was also the quick and dirty way to make sure microMIPS
kernels could not be used without changing the platform. Still, this is
certainly correct and I like it. Thanks.
