The -mfix-loongson2f-jump option provided by latest CVS binutils have fixed
the out-of-order issue of Loongson-2F described in chapter 15 of the
Loongson2F User Manual [1, 2], but introduced some problems.
The option changes all of the jump target to "addr & 0xcfffffff" through the
at($1) register, but for the reboot address of Loongson 2F 0xbfc00000 this is
wrong. Avoids the problem via telling the assembler to not use the $at
register.

In the old source code, I have let halt and poweroff do the same action,
but in reality, they have different meanings.
As the manpage of shutdown shows:
-r Reboot after shutdown.
-H Halt action is to halt or drop into boot monitor on systems that support it.
-P Halt action is to turn off the power.
and in the real world, some machines(e.g. NAS) did not provide a power
button and the shutdown works as reset, so, we need to provide a
mechanism to let the users turn off the power safely without breaking
the system, such a mechanism is "halt", which only put the system into a
dead loop or a power-save mode and print some information to the screen
to tell the users to turn off the power safely.
$ shutdown -hH now /* loongson_halt, not turn off the power */
$ shutdown -hP now /* loongson_poweroff, work as poweroff */

The built-in Loongson 2E/2F northbridge in is bonito64-compatible but not
identical with it. To avoid influencing the original bonito64 support and
make the loongson support more maintainable, it's better to separate the
Bonito64 code from the Loongson code.
This also prepares the kernel for the coming Loongson 2f machines family
support.

To share common loongson source code between all of the loongson-based
machines. there is a need to split it out of the fuloong-2e/ directory.
at the same time, other according tuning is needed. the machine-specific
parts are defined as macros in relative header file, pci.h, mem.h,
machine.h.
