Add LoongArch's vector extensions support, which including 128bit LSX (i.e., Loongson SIMD eXtension) and 256bit LASX (i.e., Loongson Advanced SIMD eXtension). Linux kernel doesn't use vector itself, it only handle exceptions and context save/restore. So it only needs a subset of these instructions: * Vector load/store: vld vst vldx vstx xvld xvst xvldx xvstx * 8bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.b xvpickve2gr.b vinsgr2vr.b xvinsgr2vr.b * 16bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.h xvpickve2gr.h vinsgr2vr.h xvinsgr2vr.h * 32bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.w xvpickve2gr.w vinsgr2vr.w xvinsgr2vr.w * 64bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.d xvpickve2gr.d vinsgr2vr.d xvinsgr2vr.d * Elements permute: vpermi.w vpermi.d xvpermi.w xvpermi.d xvpermi.q Introduce AS_HAS_LSX_EXTENSION and AS_HAS_LASX_EXTENSION to avoid non- vector toolchains complains unsupported instructions.

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.
