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.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

To share common loongson source code between all of the loongson-based
machines. there is a need to split it out of the fuloong-2e/ directory.
at the same time, other according tuning is needed. the machine-specific
parts are defined as macros in relative header file, pci.h, mem.h,
machine.h.
