The terms "old world"/"new world" and "ABI1.0"/"ABI2.0" are too vague and conflate distinct technical aspects of LoongArch ABI differences.
Changes
Added info boxes to the old-and-new-worlds documentation (Chinese and English) with a reference table distinguishing:
EF_LARCH_OBJABI_V1¹ Quoted because upstream Linux 4.19.x does not support LoongArch
² No
EF_LARCH_OBJABI_V0flag existsThe boxes appear prominently after the construction warning, guiding authors to use precise terminology in new content while preserving the historical document's existing terms.

Quote the "4.19" part whenever possible, because the upstream 4.19.x versions of Linux actually does NOT support LoongArch. ↩
