You missed my point, entirely.  There is no need to maintain cpu_attach()
routine as long as new processor support is required for a specific target.
For DECstation, it's the dead weight to have, say, Vr stuff TX stuff.
Or, are you willing to maintain cpu_idenitfy() bloat for ever-increasing
MIPS diversity in terms of MI commonness? Com'on, remember the
engineering sense of balance.
