If the branch isn't usable as-is on LoongArch (which apparently is the
state at present), there should be no problem with any backport to
architecture-specific code, regardless of how large it is - it can't
exactly regress from "not usable".
I note that the only GCC target supported for LoongArch is
loongarch*-*-linux*, so there isn't really a question of being usable for
bare-metal either.
