qemu for LoongArch does not work properly with direct kernel boot. The kernel will panic during initialization and hang without any output. When booting in EFI mode everything work correctly. While users most likely don't have the LoongArch EFI binary installed at least an explicit error about 'file not found' is better than a hanging test without output that can never succeed.

Linux kernel
============
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.
