This issue is an old ghost still around, see:

   http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=20060124.132832.37533152.nemoto%40toshiba-tops.co.jp

which is a superset of your proposed patch and which itself is refering to
an even older posting from 2003:

   http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=20030523215935.71373.qmail%40web11901.mail.yahoo.com

The #ifdef'ed solution doesn't cut it for sure.  Let's see what better we
can find ...
