arguably, the DECstation port of NetBSD should have two parts:
	a "mips" (or perhaps "little-endian mips") part, say, named
	    "mips", and
	the DECstation-specific part, perhaps named decmips.

Similarly, the Alpha code should be split into alpha and decalpha...

would help people who are doing ports to other systems based on those
chips.  (I know of several groups doing alpha work on 'weird' non-dec
hardware...)

i doubt such a split will happen though, as it's not as easy as it
sounds to get right.  8-)
