Actually all SAAR and ITU stuff are optional for I6500 in real world so 
it's fine
to just leave I6500 defined without SAAR support.

The main difference between I6400 and I6500 is multi-cluster support, I do
have some patch for bringing proper multi-cluster support to QEMU, but
it can't work with boston due to address space limitations.

Should I give mips-virt stuff another go?
