More AP / SP bits for the 34K, the Malta bits and things. Still wants

a little polishing.

+ * VPE support module
+ *
+ * Provides support for loading a MIPS SP program on VPE1.
+ * The SP enviroment is rather simple, no tlb's.  It needs to be relocatable
+ * (or partially linked). You should initialise your stack in the startup
+ * code. This loader looks for the symbol __start and sets up
+ * execution to resume from there. The MIPS SDE kit contains suitable examples.
+ *
+ * To load and run, simply cat a SP 'program file' to /dev/vpe1.
+ * i.e cat spapp >/dev/vpe1.
+ *
+ * You'll need to have the following device files.
+ * mknod /dev/vpe0 c 63 0
+ * mknod /dev/vpe1 c 63 1
