From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@xxxxxxxxx> The -mfix-loongson2f-jump option provided by the binutils 2.20.1 have fixed the Out-of-order Issue of Loongson-2F described in Chapter 15 of "Loongson2F User Manual"[1,2], but introduced some problems. The option changes all of the jumping target to "addr & 0xcfffffff" through the at($1) register, but for the REBOOT address of loongson-2F: 0xbfc00000, this is totally wrong, so, this patch try to avoid the problem via telling the assembler not to use at($1) register.
