This file is currently being built for !RISCV_ISA_V, leading to build errors
for obvious reasons. Eg:
../arch/riscv/crypto/blake2s-v.S:62:2: error: instruction requires the following: 'V' (Vector Extension for Application Processors), 'Zve32x' or 'Zve64x' (Vector Extensions for Embedded Processors)
