The domain lookup for linux-mips.org fails for quite some time now.
Further, the two links:

  http://decstation.unix-ag.org/
  http://www.computer-refuge.org/classiccmp/ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/TriAdd/

refer to old webpages or contain no further technical information.

Remove all those dead references.

FWIW the information is still online somewhere.

 I suggest: <ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/alphaserver/archive/triadd/> as the 
canonical reference nowadays.  If that goes offline sometime, we can think 
of an alternative.

Thanks, I prefer not to reference archive.org links, because I do not
think that is generally a good practice. But maybe somebody with some
mild interest in this architecture can support scanning through the
archived web pages and we store any information still worth mentioning
in the kernel Documentation?

Thanks, Maciej. I will update the reference to that location, when I
come across to send the next version of this patch set.
