Has anyone else seen this?
Yes, I do see it. I have a patch for it as well. Will send it out shortly.
The issue is the on_each_cpu() calls made in arch/mips/mm/c-sb1.c. This
function enables the interrupts on exit. As a result, you will get this
error
on bootup. The fix is similar to arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c, i.e. to have
something like r4k_on_each_cpu().
