Oops, misunderstanding on my part, I thought you were listing points for what
you wanted to replace the current system with .. which is what confused me.
Sorry about the mixup.

Okay. In this case, if you have a patch for arcs_cmdline cleanup, it would
indeed be considered.

If you have documentation on things like adding a new board, feel free to
submit that as well, and it can be pushed into Documentation/mips. I suspect
more than a few people will find this useful.

Another thing I'd like to see cleaned up is the platform setup code..
arch/mips/kernel/setup.c pollution is rather irritating..
