Nope. I'll leave adding delo support to someone with a decstation - I
don't have any mipsel boxes around. For the Indys I'll add support for
arcboot as soon as it is mature enough. Only purpose of the above is to
ease creation of kernel-images for mipsel.

They guess the subarch(/proc/cpuinfo) and use a "default loader" for
that subarch, I think.
