Yup, linux distributions will like it.

but just remembered that: the instruciton set of loongson2e and
loongson2f is different, -march=loongson2e, -march=loongson2f. so it
will be not possible to merge them together, but I will try to merge the
2f support, so please wait for me merging fuloong2f & yeeloon2f, I will
do it tonight, it is really an interesting job to do ;)
