I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory from
ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
* README: Update listing for mips-*-linux-gnu and
mips64-*-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory to
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.

That convention requires the instruction immediately preceding SYSCALL
to initialize $v0 with the syscall number. Then if a restart triggers,
$v0 will have been clobbered by the syscall interrupted, and needs to be
reinititalized. The kernel will decrement the PC by 4 before switching
back to the user mode so that $v0 has been reloaded before SYSCALL is
executed again. This implies the place $v0 is loaded from must be
preserved across a syscall, e.g. an immediate, static register, stack
slot, etc.
The restriction was lifted with Linux 2.6.36 kernel release and no
special requirements are placed around the SYSCALL instruction anymore,
however we still support older kernel binaries.
