Using remap_page_pfn would simplify the patch but that's very recent and 
I didn't even know it made it in yet. Running MIPS on top of the -mm 
tree might be a problem though, I haven't tried. I'm not sure how up to 
date MIPS is in that tree so I might have to wait until the  changes 
make it to kernel.org and then update the patch to remove remap.c and 
use remap_page_pfn instead.
