1a. Do patches living completely in
arch/mipsandinclude/asm-mipsonly have to be submitted to the l-m.o?
You can see the general rules
Documentation/SubmittingPatchesin kernel source.
I have read, neither it or the FAQ cover per-architectural issues.

You should submit MIPS part to linux-mips mailing list.

1b. If so, does this imply that l-m.o will push them to kernel.org?
Yes.
Thanks for verifying.

2a. Do patches which are outside the above directories have the be
submitted to the kernel.org list?
You will be able to find a suitable mailing list in
MAINTAINERSin kernel source.Quoted 1 line
2b. If so, how are dependencies between the two sets of submission
handled during the review process?
If they have dependency, you should add linux-mips mailing list to Cc:.
I intend to but this wont help the folks on the kernel.org list who won't see the MIPS specific parts.
