MIPS: Calculate proper ebase value for 64-bit kernels
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The ebase is relative to CKSEG0 not CAC_BASE.  On a 32-bit kernel they
are the same thing, for a 64-bit kernel they are not.

It happens to kind of work on a 64-bit kernel as they both reference
the same physical memory.  However since the CPU uses the CKSEG0 base,
determining if a J instruction will reach always gives the wrong result
unless we use the same number the CPU uses.
