Commit 14bd8c08, that replaced Loongson2-specific ifdefs with cpu tests,
inverted the CPU test in local_r4k_flush_icache_range.  Loongson2 won't
boot up using the generic icache flush code.  Presumably other CPUs
might face other problems when presented with Loongson2-specific icache
flush code too.  This patch enabled my Yeeloong to boot up successfully
a 3.13-rc kernel for the first time, after a long git bisect session.

    Fix for this issue has been posted long ago:

Thanks.  As long ago as that was, I still don't see it in Torvalds's
master branch.  Was a pull request including this patch ever send his
way?  Such a trivial fix for such a show-stopper shouldn't find any
difficulties making 3.13, I think.
