Hi Tiezhu,

Sorry that I didn't look this patch carefully in previous rev, here's my
comments,

Firstly the commit message and code comment looks bogus...

I'd prefer

MIPS: Loongson64: SMP: Fix up play_dead jump indicator

In play_dead function, the whole 64-bit PC mailbox was used as a indicator
to determine if the master core had written boot jump information.

However, after we introduced CSR mailsend, the 64-bit PC mailbox won't be
written atomicly. Thus we have to use the lower 32-bit, which will be
written at
the last, as the jump indicator instead.

Thanks.

Here you can comment as "Check jump indicator (lower 32-bit of PC mailbox)"

Thanks.
