I'm trying to use CPU_MIPS32_R2 instead of CPU_4KD in order to get rid
of the last macro. So now to compile the kernel I'm using somthing
like:

        mipsel-linux-gcc -march=mips32r2 -Wa,-32 -Wa,-mips32r2 -msmartmips

instead of

        mipsel-linux-gcc -march=4ksd -Wa,-32 -Wa,-mips32r2 -msmartmips

Now the size of the kernel code is 33Ko bigger ! I have no idea
why...I tried to add -mips16e option but it fails to compile...Do you
have an idea ?

Thanks
