No - pfn_valid() is broken, so it should be fixed.  Commit
752fbeb2e3555c0d236e992f1195fd7ce30e728d introduced the breakage.  It
seemed to assume that the valid range for PFNs doesn't start at 0 but
some higher number but got that entirely wrong..

#define ARCH_PFN_OFFSET         PFN_UP(PHYS_OFFSET)
#define pfn_valid(pfn)         ((pfn) >= ARCH_PFN_OFFSET && (pfn) < max_mapnr)

works nicely when PHYS_OFFSET is 0 - as for most MIPS systems and goes
horribly wrong otherwise.  So I suggest below patch.
