Loongson-3B is a 8-cores processor. In general it looks like there are
two Loongson-3A integrated in one chip: 8 cores are separated into two
groups (two NUMA node), each node has its own local memory.
Of course there are some differences between one Loongson-3B and two
Loongson-3A. E.g., the base addresses of IPI registers of each node are
not the same; Loongson-3A use ChipConfig register to enable/disable
clock, but Loongson-3B use FreqControl register instead.
There are two revision of Loongson-3B, the first revision is called as
Loongson-3B1000, whose frequency is 1GHz and has a PRid 0x6306, the
second revision is called as Loongson-3B1500, whose frequency is 1.5GHz
and has a PRid 0x6307. Both revisions has a bug that clock cannot be
disabled at runtime, but this will be fixed in future.

Multiple Loongson-3A chips can be interconnected with HT0-bus. This is
a CC-NUMA system that every chip (node) has its own local memory and
cache coherency is maintained by hardware. The 64-bit physical memory
address format is as follows:
0x-0000-YZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ
The high 16 bits should be 0, which means the real physical address
supported by Loongson-3 is 48-bit. The "Y" bits is the base address of
each node, which can be also considered as the node-id. The "Z" bits is
the address offset within a node, which means every node has a 44 bits
address space.
Macros XPHYSADDR and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS are modified unconditionally,
because many other MIPS CPUs have also extended their address spaces.

The new UEFI-like firmware interface (LEFI, i.e. Loongson Unified
Firmware Interface) has 3 advantages:
1, Firmware export a physical memory map which is similar to X86's
E820 map, so prom_init_memory() will be more elegant that #ifdef
clauses can be removed.
2, Firmware export a pci irq routing table, we no longer need pci
irq routing fixup in kernel's code.
3, Firmware has a built-in vga bios, and its address is exported,
the linux kernel no longer need an embedded blob.
With the LEFI interface, Loongson-3A/2G and all their successors can use
a unified kernel. All Loongson-based machines support this new interface
except 2E/2F series.
