Subject: [PATCH v3 00/17] riscv: Support vendor extensions and xtheadvector

This patch series ended up much larger than expected, please bear with
me! The goal here is to support vendor extensions, starting at probing
the device tree and ending with reporting to userspace.

The main design objective was to allow vendors to operate independently
of each other. This has been achieved by delegating vendor extensions to
a their own files and then accumulating the extensions in
arch/riscv/kernel/vendor_extensions.c.

Each vendor will have their own list of extensions they support.

There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is
used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the
current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys
for their vendor.

On to the xtheadvector specific code. xtheadvector is a custom extension
that is based upon riscv vector version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector
routines have been modified to support this alternative vector version
based upon whether xtheadvector was determined to be supported at boot.
I have tested this with an Allwinner Nezha board. I ran into issues
booting the board on 6.9-rc1 so I applied these patches to 6.8. There
are a couple of minor merge conflicts that do arrise when doing that, so
please let me know if you have been able to boot this board with a 6.9
kernel. I used SkiffOS [2] to manage building the image, but upgraded
the U-Boot version to Samuel Holland's more up-to-date version [3] and
changed out the device tree used by U-Boot with the device trees that
are present in upstream linux and this series. Thank you Samuel for all
of the work you did to make this task possible.

To test the integration, I used the riscv vector kselftests. I modified
the test cases to be able to more easily extend them, and then added a
xtheadvector target that works by calling hwprobe and swapping out the
vector asm if needed.

Changes in v3:
- Allow any hardware to support any vendor extension, rather than
  restricting the vendor extensions to the same vendor as the hardware
- Introduce config options to enable/disable a vendor's extensions
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240415-dev-charlie-support_thead_vector_6_9-v2-0-c7d68c603268@rivosinc.com

Changes in v2:
- Added commit hash to xtheadvector
- Simplified riscv,isa vector removal fix to not mess with the DT
  riscv,vendorid
- Moved riscv,vendorid parsing into a different patch and cache the
  value to be used by alternative patching
- Reduce riscv,vendorid missing severity to "info"
- Separate vendor extension list to vendor files
- xtheadvector no longer puts v in the elf_hwcap
- Only patch vendor extension if all harts are associated with the same
  vendor. This is the best chance the kernel has for working properly if
  there are multiple vendors.
- Split hwprobe vendor keys out into vendor file
- Add attribution for Heiko's patches
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240411-dev-charlie-support_thead_vector_6_9-v1-0-4af9815ec746@rivosinc.com
