This is unfortunately the first time I've seen these patches... I would
expect it to be merged at the beginning of a development cycle, maybe
softfreeze would have still been ok, but I guess we're a bit late for
11.0 now.

Note, I'm not really the maintainer for this, I guess maintainership for
this would be with general loongarch machine maintainership, and I would
have expected it to be included in a pull req there.

I plan on sending the compat machines for 11.1 soon, feel free to pick
that patch and rebase this series on top of that (or on top of whatever
pull req ends up including the 11.1 machines.)
