sh3 sh3-linux-gnu

sh4 sh4-linux-gnu
sh4eb sh4eb-linux-gnu
These exist currently -- do we need all of these, or should any be dropped

the new interlocking functions and different instruction scheduling to
avoid pipeline stalls, as I expect that the new address model can be
abstracted away in kernel space?
shmedia would be sh5?
