I agree with Matt here.

I think that evbmips should be able to support both 32-bit and 64-bit
ports.  Issues about MACHINE_ARCH can be dealt with when they arise.
The same issues will also affect any other MIPS port with a 64-bit
capable CPU (which is most of them).

Same here.  If you can do some simple before-and-after benchmarks too
that'd be nice, but not necessary.

Also, does bus_addr_t (and bus_size_t) need to be 64-bits too?
