Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: implement Zicbom-based CMO instructions + the t-head variant

This series is based on the alternatives changes done in my svpbmt series
and thus also depends on Atish's isa-extension parsing series.

It implements using the cache-management instructions from the  Zicbom-
extension to handle cache flush, etc actions on platforms needing them.

SoCs using cpu cores from T-Head like the Allwinne D1 implement a
different set of cache instructions. But while they are different,
instructions they provide the same functionality, so a variant can
easly hook into the existing alternatives mechanism on those.

As Palmer suggested, merging might have to wait until the cache
instructions have landed in compilers, but I wanted to put the
block-size changes out there for people to look at already and
also update the series to match the current svpbmt state.

changes in v2:
- cbom-block-size is hardware-specific and comes from firmware
- update Kconfig name to use the ISA extension name
- select the ALTERNATIVES symbol when enabled
- shorten the line lengths of the errata-assembly
