From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> As the Chapter 15: "Errata: Issue of Out-of-order in loongson"[1] shows, to workaround the Issue of Loongson-2F,We need to do: "When switching from user model to kernel model, you should flush the branch target history such as BTB and RAS." This patch did clear BTB(branch target buffer), forbid RAS(row address strobe) via Loongson-2F's 64bit diagnostic register.
