Yes, I'm curious too ;-) 

we did add the mmap test cases and run it for mips, as Thomas
suggested, we pass a none-zero pa_offset to mmap() to make sure the 6th
argument is used.

I just re-tested it for mips and printed something like this:

    44 mmap_bad = <0xffffffff> EINVAL                                [OK]
    45 munmap_bad = -1 EINVAL                                        [OK]
    46 mmap_munmap_good
    pa_offset: 8192
    length: 1
    file_size: 12287
     = 0                                          [OK]
    47 open_tty = 3                                                  [OK]
    48 open_blah = -1 ENOENT                                         [OK]

And I also checked the mips support of musl, it evan provide a
__syscall7, so, it should be ok ;-)

The only difference is, musl provide a different clobber list for
'__mips_isa_rev >= 6', I didn't look into the details yet:
