[V19,0/5] mips: Add Loongson-3 machine support

Loongson-3 CPU family include Loongson-3A R1/R2/R3/R4 and Loongson-3B
R1/R2. Loongson-3A R1 is the oldest and its ISA is the smallest, while
Loongson-3A R4 is the newest and its ISA is almost the superset of all
others. To reduce complexity, in QEMU we just define two CPU types:

1, "Loongson-3A1000" CPU which is corresponding to Loongson-3A R1. It is
   suitable for TCG because Loongson-3A R1 has fewest ASE.
2, "Loongson-3A4000" CPU which is corresponding to Loongson-3A R4. It is
   suitable for KVM because Loongson-3A R4 has the VZ ASE.

Loongson-3 lacks English documents. I've tried to translated them with
translate.google.com, and the machine translated documents (together
with their original Chinese versions) are available here.

I'm sorry that it is unavailable now.

And human-translated documents (W.I.P) are available here now:
https://github.com/loongson-community/docs/tree/master/English-translation-of-Loongson-manual

Both KVM and TCG are available now!

We now already have a full functional Linux kernel (based on Linux-5.4.x
LTS) here:

https://github.com/chenhuacai/linux

Of course the upstream kernel is also usable (the kvm host side and
guest side have both been upstream in Linux-5.9):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

How to use QEMU/Loongson-3?
1, Download kernel source from the above URL;
2, Build a kernel with arch/mips/configs/loongson3_{def,hpc}config;
3, Boot a Loongson-3A4000 host with this kernel (for KVM mode);
4, Build QEMU-master with this patchset;
5, modprobe kvm (only necessary for KVM mode);
6, Use QEMU with TCG:
       qemu-system-mips64el -M loongson3-virt,accel=tcg -cpu Loongson-3A1000 -kernel <path_to_kernel> -append ...
   Use QEMU with KVM:
       qemu-system-mips64el -M loongson3-virt,accel=kvm -cpu Loongson-3A4000 -kernel <path_to_kernel> -append ...

   The "-cpu" parameter is optional here and QEMU will use the correct type for TCG/KVM automatically.

V1 -> V2:
1, Add a cover letter;
2, Improve CPU definitions;
3, Remove LS7A-related things (Use GPEX instead);
4, Add a description of how to run QEMU/Loongson-3.

V2 -> V3:
1, Fix all possible checkpatch.pl errors and warnings.

V3 -> V4:
1, Sync code with upstream;
2, Remove merged patches;
3, Fix build failure without CONFIG_KVM;
4, Add Reviewed-by: Aleksandar Markovic <[e-mail]>.

V4 -> V5:
1, Improve coding style;
2, Remove merged patches;
3, Rename machine name from "loongson3" to "loongson3-virt";
4, Rework the "loongson3-virt" machine to drop any ISA things;
5, Rework "hw/mips: Implement the kvm_type() hook in MachineClass";
6, Add Jiaxun Yang as a reviewer of Loongson-3.

V5 -> V6:
1, Fix license preamble;
2, Improve commit messages;
3, Add hw/intc/loongson_liointc.c to MAINTAINERS;
4, Fix all possible checkpatch.pl errors and warnings.

V7 and V8 have only one patch (machine definition) with some minor improvements.

V8 -> V9:
1, Update KVM type definition from kernel;
2, Fix PageMask with variable page size for TCG;
3, Add TCG support (add Loongson-EXT instructions).

V9 -> V10:
1, Split fw_cfg to a separate patch;
2, Split boot parameters definition to a local header;
3, Update MIPS machine documentation;
4, Many other improvements suggested by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé.

V10 -> V11:
1, Fix some typos;
2, Add Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <[e-mail]>.

V11 -> V12:
1, Split boot parameter helpers to loongson3_bootp.c;
2, Support both BE and LE host (Loongson guests are always LE).

V12 -> V13:
1, Sync code with upstream;
2, Re-enable KVM support for MIPS in meson;

V13 -> V14:

1, Remove merged patches;
2, Rework Loongson LIOINTC;
3, Fix update_pagemask() for MIPS R6; 
4, Add Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <[e-mail]>.

2, Sync code with upstream;
3, Many improvements suggested by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé.

V18 -> V19:
1, Add related files to MAINTAINERS;

Thank you Huacai for insisting up to this v19 to get
this machine in good shape.

Series applied to mips-next.

Phil.
