IP35, on the MIPS side, refers to the SGI Origin 300/3000 family and its
derivatives, including Fuel and Tezro. Altix is basically just the ia64
version of an Origin 300/3000.
An experimental tree based on 2.6.34, which was a start on booting Linux on
these machines, is here:

However, progress halted when the MAC address couldn't be properly found by
probing the machine. I think OpenBSD figured this bit out, though, so maybe
IP35 support can get another look at some point.
