Why?  Apparently there's some config option you've enabled that is causing 
it to fail but I can't find it.  defconfig works fine on my mips 
crosscompiler and allyesconfig is borked already in other ways.

This is definitely the wrong fix, anyway, and it would require a change to 
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h instead since it's localized to mips, so 
nack.
