After our back and forth on how we determine the existence of the *envcfg
CSRs, I wonder if we shouldn't put a comment above this
riscv_user_isa_enable() function capturing the [current] decision.

Something like

 /*
  * While the [ms]envcfg CSRs weren't defined until priv spec 1.12,
  * they're assumed to be present when an extension is present which
  * specifies [ms]envcfg bit(s). Hence, we don't do any additional
  * priv spec version checks or CSR probes here.
  */

Thanks,
