This is a LoongArch port of commit d6e2cc5647 ("arm64: extable: add
`type` and `data` fields").
Subsequent patches will add specialized handlers for fixups, in addition
to the simple PC fixup we have today. In preparation, this patch adds a
new `type` field to struct exception_table_entry, and uses this to
distinguish the fixup and other cases. A `data` field is also added so
that subsequent patches can associate data specific to each exception
site (e.g. register numbers).
Handlers are named ex_handler_*() for consistency, following the example
of x86. At the same time, get_ex_fixup() is split out into a helper so
that it can be used by other ex_handler_*() functions in the subsequent
patches.

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or
make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
