Ingeic X1000 now boots thanks to Yanjie's effort.
I owned a board given by Yanjie, and sometimes test MIPS32 functions on it.

>LASAT Networks platforms (LASAT)
>Loongson 32-bit family of machines (MACH_LOONGSON32)
I owned a Loongson 1C board, and can confirm 5.4 is still bootable.

>Loongson-2E/F family of machines (MACH_LOONGSON2EF)
QEMU Fuloong-2E works fine, tested last year.
And I owned Fuloong-2F. Just tested 5.5 recently.

>Loongson 64-bit family of machines (MACH_LOONGSON64)
No QEMU available.
I owned a Loongson-3B1500 with RS780E PCH system. 
It works well with yesterday's mips-next.

I also have Loongson-3A4000 + 7A system,
which should belongs to this type.
However, Loongson-7A PCH support is still missing in mainline
and I'm going to work on that.

>IMG Pistachio SoC based boards (MACH_PISTACHIO)
>MIPS Malta board (MIPS_MALTA)
I use QEMU Malta for regular tests.
It works smoothly.
