The kernel entry points of both boot CPU (i.e., kernel_entry) and non-
boot CPUs (i.e., smpboot_entry) may be physical address from BootLoader
(in DA mode or identity-mapping PG mode). So we should jump to the link
address before PG enabled (because DA is disabled at the same time) and
just after DMW configured.
Specifically: With some older firmwares, non-boot CPUs started with PG
enabled, but this need firmware cooperation in the form of a temporary
page table, which is deemed unnecessary. OTOH, latest firmware versions
configure the non-boot CPUs to start in DA mode, so kernel-side changes
are needed.

Reflow the *.S files for better stylistic consistency, namely hard tabs
after mnemonic position, and vertical alignment of the first operand
with hard tabs. Tab width is obviously 8. Some pre-existing intra-block
vertical alignments are preserved.

Some of the assembly code in the LoongArch port likely originated
from a time when the assembler did not support pseudo-instructions like
"move" or "jr", so the desugared form was used and readability suffers
(to a minor degree) as a result.
As the upstream toolchain supports these pseudo-instructions from the
beginning, migrate the existing few usages to them for better
readability.

_stext means the start of .text section (see __is_kernel_text()), but we
put its definition in .ref.text by mistake. Fix it by defining it in the
vmlinux.lds.S.

LoongArch-based procesors have 4, 8 or 16 cores per package. This patch
adds multi-processor (SMP) support for LoongArch.

Add basic boot, setup and reset routines for LoongArch. Now, LoongArch
machines use UEFI-based firmware. The firmware passes configuration
information to the kernel via ACPI and DMI/SMBIOS.
Currently an existing interface between the kernel and the bootloader
is implemented. Kernel gets 2 values from the bootloader, passed in
registers a0 and a1; a0 is an "EFI boot flag" distinguishing UEFI and
non-UEFI firmware, while a1 is a pointer to an FDT with systable,
memmap, cmdline and initrd information.
The standard UEFI boot protocol (EFISTUB) will be added later.
