This is a wall of text.
Could you please use paragraphs? (with an empty line between paragraphs).
(There can be multiple sentences in one paragraph.)
This is a good example:

LoongArch: KVM: Fix GPA size issue about VM
Physical address space is 48 bit on Loongson-3A5000 physical machine,
however it is 47 bit for VM on Loongson-3A5000 system. Size of physical
address space of VM is the same with the size of virtual user space (a
half) of physical machine.
Variable cpu_vabits represents user address space, kernel address space
is not included (user space and kernel space are both a half of total).
Here cpu_vabits, rather than cpu_vabits - 1, is to represent the size of
guest physical address space.
Also there is strict checking about page fault GPA address, inject error
if it is larger than maximum GPA address of VM.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
Daniel, could you please test on your system as well?
Kind regards,
