Is that true?  What about purple SoC?  IIUC It's based on MIPS 5Kc
and capable of 64-bit, which MIPS32 is 32-bit only architecture.

Just for the record.

Personally, Octeon is sort of a special case.  It's based on MIPS64
architecture, and definitely a MIPS SoC, but not usual MIPS machine.
As Aaron already mentioned before, we have very few files sharable
with other MIPS machines even in the Linux kernel case.  I think it
will take long time the Octeon port gets merged to upstream, regard-
less of my opinions, because they have a lot of things need to be
resolved prior to Octeon itself.
