MIPS32 patches breaking DecStation

[Florian Lohoff <flo@rfc822.org>]

Hi,
i found this snippet from arch/mips/kernel/head.S breaking DecStations:

>From the Documentation and how i understand it this is perfectly
valid as the mtc0 instruction causes a cp0 hazard within the next 2 instruction
thought the delay of 2 cycles would be ok.

This is probably related to the Decstations having REALLY old R4000 silicion
revisions - Probably one should look through the erratas for these

flo@repeat:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
cpu			: MIPS
cpu model		: R4000SC V3.0
system type		: Digital DECstation 5000/1xx

OK - I just had a look at the errata - This IS a workaround to a 
Mips R4000SC 2.0, 3.0 errata - I restored the original code back.

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?
