Thanks for your patch. Do you know on which hardware MIPS R6 run ?

Since this is an incompatible ABI, maybe we need to consider them as new kernels

src/kernel/mips64r6
src/kernel/mips32r6

and change config/get_kernel to pick the right one.

Anyway for the time being your patch should suffice.

Cheers,
