Can you do this elsewhere?

I think the normal place would be somewhere around calibrate_delay(),
which has various options.

If the CPU has a well-defined hardware timer, you should not need to
know any loops_per_jiffy value but simply wait for the correct number
of cycles in delay()

Ah right, of course. We should clean that up one day so architectures
don't have to
define this, I don't think anything but x86 can actually set it to a value other
than zero.

Usually in compat mode, the user process can access all 4GB though, regardless
of what native 32-bit tasks can do.

Is there a limitation on loongarch that prevents you from doing this?

Do you mean the page size is not a compile-time constant in this case?

What are the combinations you can support? Is this a per-task setting
or detected at boot time?

I would suggest you don't plan to ever add LPX32 in this case, it
has never really caught on for any of the architectures that support
it other than mips, and even there I don't think it is used much
any more.

It's certainly easier to have fewer ABI options.
