Applied - but "MIPS: Separate XPA CPU feature into LPA and MVH" causes
a massive conflict with Florian's RIXI patches

  [3/6] MIPS: Allow RIXI to be used on non-R2 or R6 core
  [4/6] MIPS: Move RIXI exception enabling after vendor-specific cpu_probe
  [5/6] MIPS: BMIPS: BMIPS4380 and BMIPS5000 support RIXI

I figured unapplying those three, applying Paul's series then re-applying
Florian's patch on top of the whole series will be the easier path as in
leaving me with the smaller rejects to manage.
