Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Implement endianess swap macros for RISC-V

Motivated by [1]. A couple of things to note:

RISC-V needs a default implementation to fall back on. There is one
available in include/uapi/linux/swab.h but that header can't be included
from arch/riscv/include/asm/swab.h. Therefore, the first patch in this
series moves the default implementation into asm-generic.

Tested with crc_kunit as pointed out here [2]. I can't provide
performance numbers as I don't have RISC-V hardware yet.

Changes in v3:

PATCH 2:
  Use if(riscv_has_extension_likely) instead of asm goto (Eric). It 
  looks like both versions generate the same assembly. Perhaps we should 
  do the same change in other places such as arch/riscv/include/asm/bitops.h

Arnd, I tried your suggestion but couldn't make it work. Let me know if
I missed something in my response.

Changes in v2:
- Introduce first patch factoring out the default implementation into
  asm-generic
- Remove blank line to make checkpatch happy
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250310-riscv-swab-v1-1-34652ef1ee96@iencinas.com
