Actually, it's 8 lines of code machine level code in my local tree to bring
up. Adding a new board will increase maintain burden as well. Also to note
that LoongArch32 TCG work is also for qemu user.

riscv32, arm32 are all sharing same virt board as well. QEMU is not only
serving KVM but also other users trying to evaluate and test on the platform.

For kernel drivers are already here, still, just a couple of Kconfig changes,
you can preview here [1].

Yep, for hobbyists it's hard to sustain our effort :-( we are all trying
our best to contribute. I can potentially spare more time in Q2 to make
everything work.

Thanks
