Other vendor-defined registers use the vendor name as a prefix, not an
infix, so unify the naming style of CP0.Config6 bits.

Originally the match arms are ordered by model release date, however
the LOONGSON_64R cores are even more reduced capability-wise. So put
them at top of the switch block.

The point is to allow userspace to probe for CPUCFG without possibly
triggering invalid instructions. In addition to that, future Loongson
feature bits could all be stuffed into CPUCFG bit fields (or "leaves"
in x86-speak) if Loongson does not make mistakes, so ELF HWCAP bits are
conserved.
Userspace can determine native CPUCFG availability by checking the LCSRP
(Loongson CSR Present) bit in CPUCFG output after seeing CPUCFG bit in
HWCAP. Native CPUCFG always sets the LCSRP bit, as CPUCFG is part of the
Loongson CSR ASE, while the emulation intentionally leaves this bit
clear.
The other existing Loongson-specific HWCAP bits are, to my best
knowledge, unused, as
(1) they are fairly recent additions,
(2) Loongson never back-ported the patch into their kernel fork, and
(3) Loongson's existing installed base rarely upgrade, if ever;
However, they are still considered userspace ABI, hence unfortunately
unremovable. But hopefully at least we could stop adding new Loongson
HWCAP bits in the future.

Previously it was thought that all future Loongson cores would come with
native CPUCFG. From new information shared by Huacai this is definitely
not true (maybe some future 2K cores, for example), so collisions at
PRID_REV level are inevitable. The CPU model matching needs to take
PRID_IMP into consideration.
The emulation logic needs to be disabled for those future cores as well,
as we cannot possibly encode their non-discoverable features right now.

CPUCFG is the instruction for querying processor characteristics on
newer Loongson processors, much like CPUID of x86. Since the instruction
is supposedly designed to provide a unified way to do feature detection
(without having to, for example, parse /proc/cpuinfo which is too
heavyweight), it is important to provide compatibility for older cores
without native support. Fortunately, most of the fields can be
synthesized without changes to semantics. Performance is not really big
a concern, because feature detection logic is not expected to be
invoked very often in typical userland applications.
The instruction can't be emulated on LOONGSON_2EF cores, according to
FlyGoat's experiments. Because the LWC2 opcode is assigned to other
valid instructions on 2E and 2F, no RI exception is raised for us to
intercept. So compatibility is only extended back furthest to
Loongson-3A1000. Loongson-2K is covered too, as it is basically a remix
of various blocks from the 3A/3B models from a kernel perspective.
This is lightly based on Loongson's work on their Linux 3.10 fork, for
being the authority on the right feature flags to fill in, where things
aren't otherwise discoverable.
