Loongson64G defended these side-channel attack by silicon.
"Loongson64G mitigated it in hardware"?

Of course you forgot to set the "mitigated" mask... Oh wait.

It seems the "mitigated" mask in the 1st patch is never used, so either code there or here must be amended.

panic("Unknown Loongson Processor ID!");
