Looks technically ok but conflicts with these 7 other patches which also
touch arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c:
Please keep all the stuff the stuff that should go into the commit
message - and only that - above the "---" tearline. git-am will drop
anything below it and friendly greetings, signatures etc. should not go
into the log message so keep that below the tearoff line.

[MIPS] Alchemy: Au1210/Au1250 CPU support
This patch adds IDs for new Au1200 variants: Au1210 and Au1250.
They are essentially identical to the Au1200 except for the Au1210
which has a different SoC-ID in the PRId register [bits 31:24].
The Au1250 is a "Au1200 V0.2".

[MIPS] R4000/R4400 daddiu erratum workaround
This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds
bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li
and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected,
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays
unchanged.
Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).
Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.
Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the
run time.
Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in
a branch delay slot.
