Description

[mips] enable relbuf on mips for now to work around page aliasing in mips hardware.

Although the higher end MIPS hardware handles cache aliasing issues in
hardware, the older cores (r4k, etc) and some compile versions of the
newer cores (mips24k, mips34k, mips74k) don't have this feature.
This means we end up with some very unfortunate behaviour that was
made very obvious by some recent changes to the FFS pager by kib.

So, flip this off until we get our MIPS pmap/cache code upgraded to
handle aliased pages in software.

Discussed with: kib, bsdimp, juli
