Thanks for the quick followup revision!

So I've pulled the latest loongarch-next HEAD (commit fb575e32bdd27d57b1587227abea8d4ea2eccb71), and did allmodconfig builds of ARCH={x86,mips,loongarch}. I used the LoongArch cross-toolchain compiled by Arnd and my own Gentoo toolchains (native & crossdev) for x86 and mips; no new problem is found.

Diff between this revision and the previous revision I tested (I think it's v13) is just removal of the non-reviewed architecture-independent EFI changes, which is good, and I believe we now have every commit here ready for PR. (In theory, Eric didn't respond to my previous mail to approve the signal.h UAPI, but I can confirm that his concerns are fully addressed, which involved spelling suggestion and prefixes to the type names.)

On the v14 thread, Bagas suggested that the ASCII art in the documentation in single-cell table form be replaced with ordinary code blocks, which I think is reasonable due to consistency; but we already got 2 revisions of this patchset today, and each revision adds 25 mails to everyone's inbox, so I think Huacai could just apply the changes, collect the Tested-by, and just push to the loongarch-next branch instead (and replying here of course).

So, Arnd, do you think we can go ahead and send the PR today or tomorrow? I know this batch of modification didn't get included in today's linux-next, but there's little substantive change, and Stephen didn't mention that there will be no linux-next tomorrow, so the timing might still work out. We may want to get the final Acked-by from Ard for the now stripped-down Patch 11, though, I'm not entirely sure.
