>Description:
I grabbed the HEAD/20260919024529Z src snapshot from https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD
and configured it for multiprocessor, also turned on all debugging/diag options I could find that
would actually build.

Upon boot, I got a massive spew (easily 100+ lines) of:

[   1.0000000] mips_fixup_addr: unexpected mips insn 0x67bdffe0 at 0xffffffff813c0118
[   1.0000000] mips_fixup_addr: unexpected mips insn 0x67bdfff0 at 0xffffffff813c05f8
