 Thanks.

 The bug is in arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ip27/cpu-feature-overrides.h, 
which has:

#define cpu_has_fpu			1

(and similarly arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ip30/cpu-feature-overrides.h).
This is not supported, as noted in arch/mips/include/asm/cpu-features.h:

/* Don't override `cpu_has_fpu' to 1 or the "nofpu" option won't work.  */

Perhaps we should explicitly undefine `cpu_has_fpu' if set to 1?
