I'll figure out how to distinguish them and send a new patch.
I looked at details about CPU identification, and this
seems to be broken.
See the the notes about PRId in pages 72 and 66, respectively:
http://dev.lemote.com/files/resource/documents/Loongson/ls2f/Loongson2FUserGuide.pdf
In both 2E and 2F, the implementation field is the same (0x63).
Revision field is the same too, according to docs, and it can't
be used anyway (no garantee of consistency).
I seems weird to me that you cannot get this information from the PRId
register. Perhaps the documentation is defective.
The Chinese version of the Loongson2E user guide seems to say something
about the two lower nibbles of the PRId, but being a non-chinese reader,
I have no idea if it would be relevant.
I would think that the low order bits of the register can reliably
differentiate these two parts.

I'm sending a new patch that uses machtype instead. Yes, I know
it's a bit of a kludge, but it really seems to be the only way.
Well I appreciate consistency with GCC flag names,
Actually, I missread GCC flag (it's dashless). I'm using
"loongson2f" as David requested.
