The problem seems to be that the MIPS kernel tree isn't fully merged into
the official kernel tree. In the MIPS kernel tree arch/mips/config.in
includes:

...
if [ "$CONFIG_MIPS_EV96100" = "y" ]; then
   define_bool CONFIG_PCI y
   define_bool CONFIG_MIPS_GT96100 y
   define_bool CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE y
fi
...
