I see what you're going for at least. It's unfortunate that when
someone bumps up RISCV_ISA_MAX_SUPERSETS it squares the whole array.
Another way to go might be to define the elements in a separate array,
like:

unsigned int riscv_zks_exts[] = {
       RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZBKB,
       RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZBKC,
       ....
};

then the macro entry looks like:

SET_ISA_EXT_MAP_MULTI("zks", riscv_zks_exts),

where the SET_ISA_EXT_MAP_MULTI() could use ARRAY_SIZE() to stash both
the pointer to the array and the number of elements.
