Disable usage of PREF instruction usage by memcpy for MIPS R6. MIPS R6 redefines PREF instruction with smaller offset than ordinary MIPS. However, the memcpy code uses PREF instruction with offsets bigger than +-256 bytes. Malta kernels already disable usage of PREF for memcpy. This was found during adaptation of MIPS R6 for virtual board used by Android emulator.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
