Subject: riscv: Add a custom ISA extension for the [ms]envcfg CSR

From: Samuel Holland <samuel.holland@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4774848fef6041716a4883217eb75f6b10eb183b upstream.

The [ms]envcfg CSR was added in version 1.12 of the RISC-V privileged
ISA (aka S[ms]1p12). However, bits in this CSR are defined by several
other extensions which may be implemented separately from any particular
version of the privileged ISA (for example, some unrelated errata may
prevent an implementation from claiming conformance with Ss1p12). As a
result, Linux cannot simply use the privileged ISA version to determine
if the CSR is present. It must also check if any of these other
extensions are implemented. It also cannot probe the existence of the
CSR at runtime, because Linux does not require Sstrict, so (in the
absence of additional information) it cannot know if a CSR at that
address is [ms]envcfg or part of some non-conforming vendor extension.

Since there are several standard extensions that imply the existence of
the [ms]envcfg CSR, it becomes unwieldy to check for all of them
wherever the CSR is accessed. Instead, define a custom Xlinuxenvcfg ISA
extension bit that is implied by the other extensions and denotes that
the CSR exists as defined in the privileged ISA, containing at least one
of the fields common between menvcfg and senvcfg.

This extension does not need to be parsed from the devicetree or ISA
string because it can only be implemented as a subset of some other
standard extension.
