AFAIK, there is no R8000 support in current NetBSD/mips,
so we have to have R8000 specific code (cache, cpuregs etc.) first.
If IP26 has the similar hardware with IP22/24, device support
should be trivial once after the CPU is supported, but I doubt it.

IMHO "to make serial console working" is the first step for porting,
but it requires to push reset button or power switch many times...
