I believe the problem is in the (lack of) secondary cache support when
the R5000 target is selected in the standard kernel. I thought that
making a seperate VR5000 cpu was then a safer option leaving the R5000
as it is and presumably working on the platforms it is used on. I have
no possibility of testing on those platforms to ensure any integration
is successful.
