Well, from my current experience I would say mips.h  is good enough at
least for non-mips64 R4000 systems (and afaik there is no mips64 netbsd at the
moment).  I don't have anything else to test, so people with different
hardware or more theoretical knowledge should probably verify this.  But
I'd suggest to re-enable mips/netbsd support asap, so that it can get some
wider testing.
