When XPA mode is enabled the normally 32-bits MAAR pair registers are extended to be of 64-bits width as in pure 64-bits MIPS architecture. In this case the MAAR registers can enable the speculative loads/stores for addresses of up to 39-bits width. But in this case the process of the MAAR initialization changes a bit. The upper 32-bits of the registers are supposed to be accessed by mean of the dedicated instructions mfhc0/mthc0 and there is a CP0.MAAR.VH bit which should be set together with CP0.MAAR.VL as indication of the boundary validity. All of these peculiarities were taken into account in this commit so the speculative loads/stores would work when XPA mode is enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
