If vmid includes version, it requires one extra shift operation when 
writing to real HW in file arch/loongarch/kvm/switch.S.
-       /* Mix GID and RID */
-       csrrd           t1, LOONGARCH_CSR_GSTAT
-       bstrpick.w      t1, t1, CSR_GSTAT_GID_SHIFT_END, CSR_GSTAT_GID_SHIFT

          bstrins.w       t0, t1, CSR_GTLBC_TGID_SHIFT_END,

vpid is per-vcpu and it is represented with *vcpu->arch.vpid*, vmid is 
per-vm,it is shared by vCPUs and represented with 
*vcpu->kvm->arch.vmid[cpu]*. Instead arch.vmid is special for HW 
register writing with LOONGARCH_CSR_GTLBC, if there is misleading, how 
about renaming it with hw_vmid?
