We may use IOCSR instead.  In kernel/cpu-probe.c there are already some
IOCSR reads.

yes, IOCSR can be used and one IOCSR area will be reserved for software. In general CSR/CPUCFG is to describe CPU features and IOCSR is to describe board/device features.

CSR area is limited to 16K, it is difficult for HW guys to reserve special area for software usage. IOCSR/CPUCFG is possible however.

It is difficult to find an area unused by HW for CSR method since the
small CSR ID range. However it is easy for cpucfg. Here I doubt whether
you really know about LoongArch LVZ.

It's unfair to accuse the others for not knowing about LVZ considering
the lack of public documentation.
