Subject: [PATCH v5] RISC-V: Show accurate per-hart isa in /proc/cpuinfo

In /proc/cpuinfo, most of the information we show for each processor is
specific to that hart: marchid, mvendorid, mimpid, processor, hart,
compatible, and the mmu size. But the ISA string gets filtered through a
lowest common denominator mask, so that if one CPU is missing an ISA
extension, no CPUs will show it.

Now that we track the ISA extensions for each hart, let's report ISA
extension info accurately per-hart in /proc/cpuinfo. We cannot change
the "isa:" line, as usermode may be relying on that line to show only
the common set of extensions supported across all harts. Add a new "hart
isa" line instead, which reports the true set of extensions for that
hart.

Changes in v5:
 - Documentation changes (only) (Conor)

Changes in v4:
 - Documentation: Made the underline match the text line (Conor)
 - Documentation: hanged "in question" to "being described" (Andrew)

Changes in v3:
 - Add some documentation (Conor)

Changes in v2:
 - Added new "hart isa" line rather than altering behavior of existing
   "isa" line (Conor, Palmer)

+"isa" vs "hart isa" lines in /proc/cpuinfo
+------------------------------------------
+
+The "isa" line in /proc/cpuinfo describes the lowest common denominator of
+RISC-V ISA extensions recognized by the kernel and implemented on all harts. The
+"hart isa" line, in contrast, describes the set of extensions recognized by the
+kernel on the particular hart being described, even if those extensions may not
+be present on all harts in the system. In both cases, the presence of a feature
+in these lines guarantees only that the hardware has the described capability.
+Additional kernel support or policy control changes may be required before a
+feature is fully usable by userspace programs.
