I screwed up my stable repo clone again :(, so the full build will take a bit.

mips builds on on 3.4 with all patches applied now fail with:
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:178: Error: Unrecognized opcode `static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)'
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:179: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `{'
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:181: Error: Unrecognized opcode `extern unsigned long max_mapnr'
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:183: Error: Unrecognized opcode `return pfn>=ARCH_PFN_OFFSET&&pfn<max_mapnr'
arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:184: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `}'

This is the error I referred to above. Reverting above pfn rework patch fixes that problem,
so you might want to remove that patch from the patch queue for now.
