Commit 61cbfff4b1a7 ("MIPS: pte_special()/pte_mkspecial() support")
added a _PAGE_SPECIAL bit to the pgprot bits of our PTEs. Unfortunately
for MIPS32 configurations with RiXi support this pushed the number of
pgprot bits to 13. Since the PFN field in EntryLo begins at bit 12 this
results in us shifting the most significant bit of the physical address
beyond the end of the PTE, leading any mapped access to a physical
address above 2GB to incorrectly access an address 2GB lower than
intended.
For now, disable the pte_special() support for MIPS32 configurations
that support RiXi.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
