I thought the construct triggered a problem elsewhere and the change was supposed to work it around. I'm pretty surprised you've forgotten I ported the DECstation code to 64 bits -- it's already over a year and a half since I did the first boot. I feel a bit hesitant about changing the expression, but perhaps I may add a comment to the help text, on why it's experimental for 64-bit. I suspect hardly anyone will notice, though -- if built with unpatched tools and run on a problematic processor the kernel complains and refuses to run asking to contact <linux-mips@linux-mips.org> and nobody did that yet...
