You mean that it hasn't been tested it yet, or that it is currently not
stable? I have personally run a lot of MIPS64R2 code on a Loongson 3 CPU
without problem, but I never tried the kernel.

In any case, the description of the CPU should replace MIPS III by
MIPS64R2.

Then you should make sure this option could only be selected on Loongson
3. Also you might want to use the "PCI" option instead of adding "HT
PCI".

Also does it really work to compile a kernel without HT_PCI? The only
code change if this option is used or not is the following in
arch/mips/include/asm/mach-loongson/loongson.h:

#if defined(CONFIG_HT_PCI)
#define LOONGSON_PCIIO_BASE     loongson_pciio_base
#else
#define LOONGSON_PCIIO_BASE     0x1fd00000
#endif

Does it works to set LOONGSON_PCIIO_BASE to 0x1fd00000 on a Loongson 3 machine?
