Those processors don't require the patch.  You wrote the patch to give a 
larger VA space at the request of kernel users.  So perhaps say:

  The patch (optionally) increases the VA space available to userspace 
processes from N-bits to 48-bits

Should probabaly be called VABITS instead of VMBITS to match the terms 
used in the architecture reference manuals, as well as other ports (ARM64).

Perhaps MIPS_VA_BITS_48
