There is one there, it just got clipped in the context diff. It looks
like this (after gmail mangles it):
/*
* The kernel already assumes that the base single-letter ISA
* extensions are supported on all harts, and only supports the
* IMA base, so just cheat a bit here and tell that to
* userspace.
*/
case RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_BASE_BEHAVIOR:
pair->value = RISCV_HWPROBE_BASE_BEHAVIOR_IMA;
break;
