please move this together with the other defines in arch/mips/kvm/entry.c
to a header file (arch/mips/include/asm/uasm.h sounds like a good fit).

I know this used a lot in arch/mips, but don't add another one and
put this to a header file. IMHO checkpatch should have warned you about
that.

how about doint the generation with cached memory and flush caches
after that ?
