Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] riscv: hwprobe: Add Zicbop support
Changes since v1:
------------------
- Bump RISCV_HWPROBE_MAX_KEY (modified 1/4).
- Add documentation for the Zicbop hwprobe bit/key (new 3/4).
- Add a selftest(prefetch.c) for Zicbop (new 4/4).
Add UAPI and kernel plumbing to expose the Zicbop extension presence
and its block size through hwprobe. The interface mirrors
Zicbom/Zicboz. This allows userspace to safely discover and optimize
for Zicbop when available.
Background: Zicbop is mandated by the RVA22U64 profile. Downstream may
combine the presence bit with ZICBOP_BLOCK_SIZE to make profile-level
policy decisions or enable Zicbop-specific optimizations.
