btw: I checked Loongson's KVM implementation in their out-of-tree 3.10 kernel and found they're emulating everything
in Kernel, like csr, irqchip of LS7A, extioi of 3A4000, even cpufreq.

This is making the whole thing unnecessarily complex.

If you are trying to mainline Loongson KVM support then please avoid do like this.

Please reference how Arm define their virt machine in QEMU.

We're not x86, we don't have to run into historical limitations.

Thanks
