Linux 6.18 release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Ongoing #pinxi next #inxi updates. After the #Loongson data and upgrade, I decided to grit my research teeth and dig into #Zhaoxin x86 Via Centaur based CPU. As usual, I had to combine data sources to get the info on each variant. Now pinxi detects Zhaoxin, and gets advanced microarchitecture data for each known model.
Previously this was tossed in with Centaur data, which cut off when zhaoxin split from via (cpuid family 6 > 7). And was wrong too.
It's absurdly hard to find this cpu data.

I've been gathering data for the Chinese #Loongson #MIPS CPU and GPUs, almost no data on the GPUs for the GPU arch tables (need more product IDs for matches), but found a fairly complete listing of Loongson CPUs on https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/loongson/godson_2/2h then found a collection of sample cpuinfo output files, which was enough to create a rough first CPU arch support in #pinxi (next #inxi). Just debugged last bits, seems to be working. Chinese built #Deepin (#Debian derived) supports #LoongArch.
