Hi,

This patch breaks MIPS. Please take a look. Thanks.

On v5.19.0:
  Linux version 5.19.0 (builder@buildhost) (mips64-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc (OpenWrt GCC 11.2.0 r19590-042d558536) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37) #0 SMP Sun Jul 31 15:12:47 2022
  Skipping L2 locking due to reduced L2 cache size
  CVMSEG size: 0 cache lines (0 bytes)

  Kernel sections are not in the memory maps
  Wasting 278528 bytes for tracking 4352 unused pages
  Initrd not found or empty - disabling initrd
  Using appended Device Tree.
