MIPS: Disable stack checks on MIPS kernels
Disable stack checking on MIPS kernels. Some distribution toolchains might pass the -fstack-check option to gcc. This results in a store-doubleword instruction being emitted at the top of all functions that checks the available stack space. E.g., a80000000001d740 <per_cpu_init>: a80000000001d740: ffa0bfc0 sd zero,-16448(sp) a80000000001d744: 2405ffc9 li a1,-55 a80000000001d748: 67bdffc0 daddiu sp,sp,-64 Generally, this is undesirable, and especially on the SGI IP27 platform, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference in '_raw_spin_lock_irq' during early init.
