Subject: LoongArch without CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_EFI

Hi,

It appears that as of QEMU 9.1, it's possible to boot LoongArch machines
that don't provide EFI or ACPI.

Would you consider removing the `select ACPI` and `select EFI` from the
arch Kconfig, so that kernels built for this minimal QEMU environment
can be a bit leaner and quicker to build?

Jason
