 Well the entries need to match code too, i.e. refer to 
EF_MIPS_32BITMODE_FP64 rather than EF_MIPS_32BITMODE.

 Also how about just EF_MIPS_FP64 for brevity and to match the name 
chosen for the corresponding attribute?

 Indeed, we may need to switch to ELF notes at one point.  One of the bits 
left, presumably 0x00000800, may be useful to denote the need to refer 
interpreters to such notes (for performance reasons, e.g. for the kernel 
so that it doesn't look notes up where there isn't one).
