I'm OK with that, although I don't know MIPS assembler, nor anything
about the MIPS instruction set (can't be too hard!) or its
architecture.  I presume I can copy bits from the Plan 9 code and more
from the APE library, allowing for GAS's slightly different syntax.

Thank you Russ for the information, I guess I know what I'll be doing
the rest of today.

Should this be of interest to anyone, my hope is that once I have P9P
running on MIPS, I will be able to adjust the Plan 9 kernel sources to
compile under GCC to bootstrap Plan 9 on the Yeeloong.  No doubt there
will be question that this list will be asked to assist with :-)
