We are not aware of anybody still using this machine, support for it

any future development anymore), and we are not aware of any binaries
online that could be used for regression testing to avoid that the
machine bitrots ... thus let's mark it as deprecated now.

If anybody is still using this machine, please speak up now!
FYI I'm using it to run MIPS AVP (Architecture Verification Programs)
time by time to check TCG's compliance.
Is MIPS AVP accessible somewhere?
Ok, if you're still using it, we can certainly keep it around... but it
would be really good to have an old Linux kernel or something similar
available online somewhere that we could use for a CI test for this
machine, so we can make sure that it does not bitrot... do you happen to
know whether such a kernel is available somewhere?
Otherwise what can we use to test this machine?
Also, please consider volunteering for becoming the maintainer of the
machine in the MAINTAINERS file ... currently it's marked as "Orphan"
there which was also a strong indication that nobody really cares for
this machine anymore.
