 Well, since they use a different controller structure and different 
functions, the user-visible name should be different too, shouldn't it?  
To be original ;-) -- how about "MIPS-MT"?

Thought about but then it's still hammering at the same old bits which
now just have received a different use.

 Using another structure is enough for justification -- it's a different 
"controller".  Similarly the two variations of interrupts handled in 
arch/mips/dec/ioasic-irq.c are almost the same (the difference is even 
smaller than here), but using separate structures made me use different 
names.
