Sorry for being ambigous. All R2 processors have ebase. However Linux
happens to support older processors as well, that was my point.

There are several potencial addresses in XKPHYS, so if anything:
#if !defined(CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2) && \
((VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS == CKSEG0) || \
(VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS & 0xc7ffffffffffffffUL) == XKPHYS)
However even where ebase actually exists there might be reasons not to use
it. So a config option might be the safe thing to do.
