For anyone playing along at home, Anup had a proposal for encoding this
information (yoinked from the GH issue below):

FWIW the revert is at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20221023185444.678573-1-conor@kernel.org/

Commit message is probably a little lacking as I didn't understand the
problem when I wrote it. I'll respin the revert with a tidier message
tomorrow.
