Hmm, as Loongson did many stuff in non-generic manner it's almost impossible :-(
Also their are many devices shipped with current boot protocol.

Loongson is stepping away from MIPS and it seems like they're going to use EDK-II for their Loongarch.
TBH I've checked Loongson's PMON code and realized it can't be ported to other projects easily.
Tons of unregonized assembly code.
Thanks.
