Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] riscv: introduce unified static key mechanism for ISA extensions

Currently, riscv has several extensions which may not be supported on
all riscv platforms, for example, FPU and so on. To support unified
kernel Image style, we need to check whether the feature is supported
or not. If the check sits at hot code path, then performance will be
impacted a lot. static key can be used to solve the issue. In the past,
FPU support has been converted to use static key mechanism. I believe
we will have similar cases in the future.

This patch tries to add an unified mechanism to use static keys for
some ISA extensions by implementing an array of default-false static keys
and enabling them when detected.
