[PATCH v3 3/3] selftests/kho: add LoongArch vmtest support

From: George Guo <guodongtai at kylinos.cn>
Add loongarch.conf to configure QEMU's LoongArch virt machine with a
la464 CPU, enable the 8250 serial console, and set the kernel image
to vmlinux.efi. Extend vmtest.sh to recognise loongarch64 as a
supported target and map it to the 'loongarch' kernel arch name.
QEMU's LoongArch virt machine provides no ACPI tables and relies on
FDT to describe hardware. Without 'earlycon' on the kernel command
line, the FDT is not scanned for a console UART, no output reaches
the console, and vmtest.sh's console log stays empty causing the test
to always fail. Add 'earlycon' to KERNEL_CMDLINE in loongarch.conf.
QEMU's LoongArch virt machine has no i8042 PS/2 controller. When PNP
detection finds nothing, i8042_init() falls back to probing the ports
directly. On LoongArch the I/O ports are memory-mapped, and the i8042
port addresses are not backed by any device on the virt machine, so
i8042_flush() takes a page fault and the kernel panics:
i8042: PNP: No PS/2 controller found.
i8042: Probing ports directly.
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff800000008064
ERA: i8042_flush+0x50/0x198
RA: i8042_init+0x2a8/0x35c
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Disable SERIO_I8042 and its dependents (KEYBOARD_ATKBD, MOUSE_PS2) in
the QEMU_KCONFIG fragment to prevent the driver from being built.
All three options are scoped to loongarch.conf; no other architecture
is affected.
QEMU provides no EFI runtime services on LoongArch, so machine_restart()
falls through to an infinite idle loop after kexec. Set QEMU_TIMEOUT=120
in loongarch.conf so vmtest.sh wraps the QEMU invocation with timeout(1),
which terminates QEMU after 120 seconds if it does not exit on its own.
Architectures that do not set QEMU_TIMEOUT are unaffected.
