[PATCH 3/3] Loongson-2F: Fixup of problems introduced by -mfix-loongson2f-jump of binutils 2.20.1

[Wu Zhangjin]

From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@xxxxxxxxx>

The -mfix-loongson2f-jump option provided by the binutils 2.20.1 have fixed the
Out-of-order Issue of Loongson-2F described in Chapter 15 of "Loongson2F User
Manual"[1,2], but introduced some problems.

The option changes all of the jumping target to "addr & 0xcfffffff" through the
at($1) register, but for the REBOOT address of loongson-2F: 0xbfc00000, this is
totally wrong, so, this patch try to avoid the problem via telling the
assembler not to use at($1) register.
