patch for broken 3.8.4, 3.4.37, 3.2.41 kernels on mips

[Sebastian Gottschall]

as already written multiple times here, all current kernels are unable 
to compile on mips due a bad patch.
to avoid these problems i advice to use the following patch or any other 
modified variant which works in the same way
