"Rockhopper" was once used by NEC for their development board,
supporting (MIPS) Vr5432, Vr5500 and Vr7700.  Those CPUs do support MMU.

The distro is mvista linux v2.1.  Check .config file under the top of
the tree and you will find out which board and which CPU is configured
here.

Drivers might be an issue but other stuff (timer, irq, CPU, etc) should
be easy.
