Guess the asm is different for mips:

kernel/bounds.c does:

#define DEFINE(sym, val) \
        asm volatile("\n->" #sym " %0 " #val : : "i" (val))

mips wants something different.

#define offset(string, val) \
        __asm__("\n@@@" string "%0" : : "i" (val))

Argh. Do an #ifdef MIPS or add a definition in an arch specific .h file 
somewhere?

The asm could be different. gas is pretty uniform but some 
arches may not be using gas?
