No particular objections to this change, current platforms support by
this change fall under 3 categories:

- BCM7xxx using a CFE providing a firmware interface you call into using
code from arch/mips/fw/cfe/
- BCM63xx CFE
- BCM33xx using Aeolus [1]

The first two are likely not going to be changed since these are
currently deployed products/systems, however the latter could be changed
to match UHI as Kevin proposed a while ago.
