Probably make a fixup patch to guard
_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY_SHIFT with
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY
would be a better option?

Btw: It's really selfish that only enable SOFT_DIRTY for Loongson
but occupied a bit in pagetable for all MIPS systems.

I'd suggest select HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY for all 64BIT MIPS systems.
Or provide config options to let expert users decide what feature they need.

Thanks.
