When we use qemu tcg simulation, the page size of bios is 4KB.
When using the level 2 super large page (page size is 1G) to create the page
table,
it is found that the content of the corresponding address space is abnormal,
resulting in the bios can not start the operating system and graphical
interface normally.
The lddir and ldpte instruction emulation has
a problem with the use of super large page processing above level 2.
The page size is not correctly calculated,
resulting in the wrong page size of the table entry found by tlb.

This magical cpu state does not appear in the manual.
The hardware instruction manual is hosted on github at
https://github.com/loongson/LoongArch-Documentation
Are you sure that large pages above level 2 are really supported by LDDIR?
Yes,We have done tests on the physical cpu of loongarch64 and
it works fine with a level 2 large page on the physical cpu.
Some explanation from the hardware engineering side is required.
The description of lddir hardware manual is as follows:
Instruction formats:
|lddir rd, rj, level|
The|LDDIR|instruction is used for accessing directory entries during software page table
walking.
If bit|[6]|of the general register|rj|is|0|, it means that the content of|rj|is the
physical address of the
base address of the level page table at this time. In this case, the|LDDIR|instruction
will access the level
page table according to the current TLB refill address, retrieve the base address of the
corresponding
|level+1|page table, and write it to the general register|rd|.
