I would tend to stay away from group namings, but I have heard this
being proposed before, and it is an alternative ... look at the 
mess /dev/sd* has created. In any case, if this is the way other 
platforms go, I have no issues, mips64 should follow that ... 

I was just too lazy to loop over all the cpus and print essentially
the same information, like all the other architectures do. It shouldn't
be too difficult to do it though, if somebody really cares.
