Subject: [GIT PULL] random number generator fixes for 6.12-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull the following two small improvements for rc1:

- Christophe realized that the LoongArch64 instructions could be scheduled more
  similar to how GCC generates code, which Ruoyao implemented, for a 5% speedup
  from basically some rearrangements.

- An update to MAINTAINERS to match the right files.

Meanwhile, the RISC-V folks are working on vDSO getrandom() for 6.13, and tglx
& co are working on some more generic vDSO cleanups throughout, so it's likely
the 6.13 work will make it to you via tip. I'll also likely route post-rc1
fixes through arch trees wherever possible.

Thanks,
Jason
