Here are some fixes for MIPS/BPF. The first 5 patches do some cleanup
and lay the groundwork for the final one which introduces assembly
helpers
for MIPS and MIPS64. The goal is to speed up certain operations that do
not need to go through the common C functions. This also makes the
test_bpf
testsuite happy with all 60 tests passing. This is based in 4.1-rc6.

looks like these patches actually fix two real bugs, right?
If so, I think you probably want them in 'net' tree ?

I was thinking to have them in the MIPS tree to be honest. The original
MIPS/BPF went via the MIPS tree as well. It also makes it easier for me
to work with Ralf on minor fixes, merge conflicts etc.

Different arch maintainers take different stance towards bpf jit
changes. x86, arm and s390 are ok with them going through Dave's trees,
since often there are dependencies on bpf core parts.
So please state clearly what tree you want these patches to go in.

btw, in the net-next tree bpf testsuite has 246 tests and the last
ten are very stressful for JITs.

Interesting. Thanks. I will rebase my tree shortly after 4.2-rc1 then
and run the testsuite again. I will post a v2 if I spot more problems
with it.
