Merging it means a commitment on my part to maintain it. I don't get
much help at all on the user space side. So, one thing I consider is
how many of these processors are in use. I have no idea about this one.
I can't say I have ever seen one in use anywhere. And I regret merging
the alpha processor as it has very limited use and get no help
maintaining it.
