[OE-core] tweaking insane.bbclass to handle MIPS SEAD-3?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  students from a class of mine last year are currently playing with a
MIPS SEAD-3:

http://www.mips.com/products/development-kits/mips-sead-3/

and asked for some assistance getting oe/yocto to build for that kit.
they started with the routerstation pro content, and just wanted to
reproduce the same rootfs to run on the SEAD-3 (they would use the
provided u-boot and kernel for now). the biggest issue was changing
the endianness of the build.

  got an email this morning, they have a working rootfs, i asked for
details on everything they had to do, but for now, here's the final
issue they dealt with:

"Attached rootfs created for RS Pro, but with mips32el (little endian
config) and soft floating point. I had to comment out the endianess
check Python code from the insane.bbclass file to get the build to
work."

  so if someone wants to adjust insane.bbclass to recognize and handle
a SEAD-3, go for it. i'll post full details when i get them in case
there was anything else relevant.
