Hi folks,

I just wrote the trampoline code as a PoC to show "relocatable kernel
can work" and there must be some better way. But I'm too sad to write
any serious code in this month, and I don't have access to a LoongArch
NUMA system. So I think it's better to leave the job for you guys now
:).

Best regards
