Great summary.
Option 2 seems the most reasonable/low-effort to me, as MIPS64 is 
already an established architecture, and it doesn't differ much from 
MIPS32, as you pointed out. I created 
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1655 and sent a mail to the 
main MIPS/V8 guy, let's see what they say.

Wish I could contribute, as I know MIPS32/64 quite well :( We do have 
collaborators at Szeged university who have V8 commit rights and can 
help us with this type of thing.
