Is there a Loongson 3 programmers manual somewhere, similar to
Loongson2FUserGuide.pdf?

I optimized pixman for Loongson 2E/2F using their SIMD instructions.
I've compiled pixman for Loongson 3A and I see some new instructions
being used in the disassembly, but I have no Loongson 3 system to test
on. At minimum, having a manual would be nice.

Thanks,
Matt
