The `vcsr` only exists in the old hardware design, it isn't used in any shipped hardware from Loongson-3A5000 on. Both scalar FP and LSX/LASX instructions use the `fcsr` as their control and status registers now. For example, the RM control bit in fcsr0 is shared by FP, LSX and LASX instructions. Particularly, fcsr16 to fcsr31 are reserved for LSX/LASX now, access to these registers has no visible effect if LSX/LASX is enabled, and will cause SXD/ASXD exceptions if LSX/LASX is not enabled. So, mentions of vcsr are obsolete in the first place (it was just used for debugging), let's remove them.

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.
