This one is specific to the Swarm, a MIPS-based platform indeed; I'll cc
Maciej Rozycki who most likely is the only person on the planet knowing the
technical details.  I don't even recall touching that file so my (C)
header in there is a surprise :)

Stiching up the build problems in that file.

Random weirdo ISA sound card.  Probably only ever tested on x86 and will
have the chances

SH3 specific.

Belongs to the x86-based first generation of SGI visual workstations.

Motorola 68k-specific.  Adding 68k maintainers to cc list.

More a problem in not reading the research properly :)
