Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] riscv: Optimize bitops with Zbb extension

Bitops optimization with specialized instructions is common practice in
popular ISAs, this patch set uses RISC-V Zbb extension to optimize four
bitops: __ffs, __fls, ffs and fls.

The first patch rearranges the content in hwcap.h cpufeature.h, it helps
to avoid a cyclic header including issue for patch 2.

The second patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically apply
this optimization.

The series has following dependency:

Thanks,
Xiao

v3:
- Fix riscv32 build issue reported by kernel test robot. V3 changes "hwcap.h" to
  "cpufeature.h" for files where cpu feature detection APIs are used. (Yujie)

v2:
- Remove the "EFI_" prefix from macro name "EFI_NO_ALTERNATIVE" to make it
  generic. (Ard)
- patch-1 is added, it's based on "RISC-V: Enable cbo.zero in usermode". (Andrew)
