 Supports the "-M mips" configuration of qemu: serial,NE2000,IDE.
-Support is big endian only for now (or at least this is what I tested).
+Supports little and big endian as well as 32 bit and 64 bit.
 Derived from au1x00 with a lot of things cut out.
 
 Supports emulated flash (patch Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD) with
