I run the tests with only a single CPU core enabled. Maybe that causes
problems with your code ?

Clone https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test.git.
Look in rootfs/*mips* for qemu scripts and root file systems.
The SMP tests all fail, so it should not matter which one you pick.
I use my own version of qemu, but for mips standard qemu 2.5.0 should
work fine (I don't have any mips specific changes in my version).

Hope this helps,
