I have addressed this issue before, and I do it again, because we have a
potential kernel crash situation, if this isn't fixed.

The __access_ok macro in include/asm-mips64/uaccess.h and the check_axs
macro in arch/mips64/kernel/unaligned.c need to be changed in order to
work correctly, it's a copy from the 32-bit kernel. It's not good enough
to simply check for the "sign bit" of the address.
The area between USEG (XUSEG) and KSEG0 will in 64-bit addressing mode
generate an address error, if accessed.
The size of the area depend on the number of virtual addressing bits
implemented in the CPU.

Please take a look at the patch below.
I think Ralf had some objection the last time I send it, about the fix,
not being efficient enough (performance vice), but I think we need to
consider stability and functionality over performance. So until someone
comes up with a better solution, I think we need this fix.
