Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] membarrier: riscv: Core serializing command

Changes since v1 ([1]):

Add patch 1/4 to resolve the "sync core" scenario reported by Mathieu
in [1] and meet the requirement of the membarrier "private expedited"
command.

Miscellaneous improvements/additions to documentation and MAINTAINERS
files.  Follow up on Mathieu's suggestion in [1] to introduce a Kconfig
/feature for the latter command (patch 4/4).

N.B.  Patch 4/4 is in RFC-mode, the plan being to submit this patch to
the various archs/doc lists (more likely, as a stand-alone patch) once
I've got some ack/positive feedback from the MEMBARRIER maintainers.
