This patch add Loongson-3 Virtual IPI interrupt support in the kernel. The current implementation of IPI emulation in QEMU is based on GIC for MIPS, but Loongson-3 doesn't use GIC. Furthermore, IPI emulation in QEMU is too expensive for performance (because of too many context switches between Host and Guest). With current solution, the IPI delay may even cause RCU stall warnings in a multi-core Guest. So, we design a faster solution that emulate IPI interrupt in kernel (only used by Loongson-3 now).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
