Sorry, no build tests yet:

/bin/sh: score-linux-gcc: command not found

I just make the mips/score page_is_ram() non-static and assume that
will make it compile.

Good question. Grep shows that CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_WALK_MEMORY is only
defined for powerpc, and it has its own page_is_ram() as well as
walk_system_ram_range().

walk_system_ram_range() must be defined somewhere because it is
expected to be generic routine: exported and called from both
in-kernel and out-of-tree code.

Thanks,
