I am still not sure we need such an option. This option only changes an
address in arch/mips/include/asm/mach-loongson/loongson.h:

| #if defined(CONFIG_HT_PCI)
| #define LOONGSON_PCIIO_BASE     loongson_sysconf.pci_io_base
| #else
| #define LOONGSON_PCIIO_BASE     0x1fd00000
| #endif

If both options are working on a Loongson 3 machine, it's definitely a
good idea to leave the choice to the user. That said if only the address
from loongson_sysconf.pci_io_base works on a Loongson 3 machine, this
option must always be selected and is therefore useless.
