Indeed, but currently our only R10k problem is that we don't support
that thing at all ...

Ok, thanks for the information. It's what I was expecting. In that
case the version which I'm just about to check in is still not R5000
safe. I'm going to fix that rsn.
Quickfix for R5000 hackers: change the #define for waybit in
arch/mips/mm/r4xx0.c from 0x2000 to (dcache_size >> 1).
