This is an incomplete proof of concept that I applied to be able to
build a 64 bit kernel with GCC-4.4. It doesn't handle the 32 bit case

The R4000_WAR case can use the same C code -- GCC will adjust code
generated as necessary according to the -mfix-r4000 flag. For the 32-bit
case I think the conclusion was the only way to get it working is to use
MFHI explicitly in the asm.
No, the same sort of cast, multiply and shift should work for 32-bit
code too. I.e.:
usecs = ((uint64_t)usecs * lpj) >> 32;
It should work for both -mfix-r4000 and -mno-fix-r4000.
Any updates on this ?
I have updated it to this PATCH, could you help to review it?
FWIW, Ralf also has a patch, that I have tested, that takes a slightly
different approach.
In any event, it would be nice if one of the patches were merged to
2.6.30 before it is released. GCC-4.4 has been available for quite a
while now. Not being able to build the kernel with it will become a
larger issue as time goes by.
