this commit just changed code and doesn't change the problem you want to
solve.

so it says later, which doesn't have to be right after the memblock_add.
I don't know why you need the whole mem=/memmap= game, but please do a

for_each_memblock(...) 
	memblock_set_node(...);

somewhere in arch/mips/loongson64 to fix up the memory blocks as needed.
