The best option is for a mips64 kernel to indicate that it is 64 bit

The appended patch introduces the new format in mips64. Maybe this speeds
up agreement about it. :-)
I am updating ksymoops now and need some information.  Could somebody
tell me what this produces on mips?

# objdump -x ksymoops | head -8
# objdump -x mips64-lsb-vmlinux | head -8
# objdump -x mips64-msb-vmlinux | head -8

where mips64-[lm]sb-vmlinux are kernels compiled for 64 bit with LSB
and MSB.

   What I have is not the "official" CVS kernel but a patched version,
   along with a patched toolchain. It already uses elf64-tradbigmips
   instead of elf64-bigmips and has a different start address as it
   is loaded in 64bit address space. I haven't cared about little
   endian yet (no such hardware).
   
   So it's just for reference for now, possibly it helps.
