    BLCR does not work with MIPS, and we do not have the resources to add support
    for it ourselves.  If you are interested in porting it to MIPS yourself, this
    should be possible.  Most of the architecture-specific code is in the logic that
    saves/restores CPU registers, which is done in the 'vmadump' and/or 'vmadump4'
    directories ('vmadump' is used for Linux 2.4 kernels, 'vmadump4' for 2.6
    kernels).
    
    I hope this helps,
