The MIPS cpu headers are kind of a mess but they're better than they
were a year or so ago.  However kludging an existing bsp to support
your processor is probably a bad idea.  If you want to support a new
processor (and therefore probably a new board), then creating a new
bsp (perhaps based on the p4000) is a better long-term solution.

Regardless, the header files use #ifdef's to select which definitions
apply, and since the tests usually check for mips1 or mips3, perhaps
you could enhance them to also/or check mips2 where necessary.  THe
various files are located in the cpukit/score/cpu/mips tree.
