Sorry to response too hurry. If vmid represents software version, it is 
hard to write with assemble language such as:
+  /* Set VMID for gpa --> hpa mapping */
+       ld.d            t1, a2, KVM_ARCH_VMID
+        ld.d            t0, vpid_mask
module variable vpid_mask need export and put in structure kvm_vcpu_arch.
+        add             t1, t1, t0
         csrrd           t0, LOONGARCH_CSR_GTLBC
