Anyone have interest in NetBSD for loongson



     Now an OpenBSD/loongson[1] port is almost finished,OpenBSD
     currently supports loongson based Gdium notebook,Yeeloong notebook
 and Fuloong 2F mini-PC. 
     Actually,NetBSD supports loongson based computer too,but only Gdium
 notebook is supported(in evbmips/gdium). 
     Is anyone have interest in backporting openbsd/loongson to netbsd?

 
     In china,most of loongson computer users' machine is Yeeloong
 notebook and Fuloong 2F mini-PC (currently about 16 ten thousand in
 primary school for computer education,government's 15 million
 procurement planning has been ratified by state department(china) ).
      About loongson,loongson is a series of processors designed by
 ICT[2],manufactured by ST Microelectronics. Currently exits
 Loongson-2E,Loongson-2F [3]and Loongson-3 A(Quad-Core MIPS64)[4][5][6].
 loongson-3 B(8-core MIPS64) may be taped this year. A feature of
 loongson-3 is
 Hardware support for x86 to MIPS binary translation[7][8].
      China's next supercomputer will be constructed with loongson-3[9].
