machtype=xxxx is used to select the machine specific support to share
the same kernel image among the lemote loongson2f family of machines.

with the latest linux-loongson/2.6.32/stable(from the rt4ls git
repository), machtype will not be needed for I have applied a patch to
get the machtype from the PMON_VER=LMXXXX kernel command line
automatically. but of course, if you indicate the right machtype=xxxx,
there is no side effect, and this machtype=xxx will be passed by the new
PMON.

and to "Alexandre Oliva", we are free to ignore the machtype stuff from
now on, perhaps you can try to compile a new binary package when the
mainline 2.6.32.3 is released.

Thanks!
