Assuming we don't go with hwcap, I dont think the order of the
riscv_isa_ext_id enum matters that much?

iiuc we're building the cpuinfo string from the riscv_isa_ext_data
array, and I think the current code is incorrect:

static struct riscv_isa_ext_data isa_ext_arr[] = {
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA(sscofpmf, RISCV_ISA_EXT_SSCOFPMF),
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA(sstc, RISCV_ISA_EXT_SSTC),
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA(svinval, RISCV_ISA_EXT_SVINVAL),
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA(svpbmt, RISCV_ISA_EXT_SVPBMT),
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA(zicbom, RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZICBOM),
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA(zihintpause, RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZIHINTPAUSE),
    __RISCV_ISA_EXT_DATA("", RISCV_ISA_EXT_MAX),
};

zicbom and zihintpause should come before supervisor level extensions.
I'm going to send a patch for that.

And the Zb/Zk ones should come after the Zi ones, and before the
supervisor level ones (The I category comes before the B or the K one).
So we should check that when patch #1 is rebased.

Cheers,
Samuel.
