I'm trying to cross-compile a kernel/initramfs for a mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu system.

I think that mipsel and mips64 are treated the same as mips with respect to the kernel, so I think a simple change to detect mipsel as ARCH=mips is enough. At least I was able to get a bootable kernel+initramfs with only this change.


```
$ sudo genkernel --integrated-initramfs --kernel-target=uImage.bin --kerneldi
r=/usr/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/usr/src/linux --kernel-config=/vagrant/config/kconfig --cross-
compile=mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu all

* ERROR: mipsel not yet supported by genkernel. Please add the arch-specific config file '/usr/share/genkernel/arch/mipsel/config.sh'!
