IMO that's not really the problem: hypervisors are going to have to emulate 
CSRs anyway, so adding more isn't a big deal.  The problem is having S-mode 
software depend on M-mode.  More explicitly:

* The RISC-V specs are nominally layered, which means S-mode doesn't include 
  any of the M-mode bits. M-mode CSR accesses are simply illegal S-mode 
  instructions.  I know the CSRs are a bit special in that they're chunked out 
  by privilege mode, but there's nothing preventing the ISA from later 
  reallocating these M-mode CSR bits in S-mode (aside from then having a modal 
  ISA, which is a design anti-goal).
* All behavior in M-mode is implementation defined, including these CSR 
  accesses.  While they're obviously allocated and a behavior is specified by 
  the ISA, there's nothing that says M-mode has to actually implement these in 
  any sane fashion (ie, it can return 0 or shut down or whatever).

So is essence, adding these M-mode CSR accesses into S-mode kernels introduces 
an entirely new ISA extension that we're just making up on the spot and 
assuming will be implemented by firmware.  At a bare minimum we'd need to have 
that defined by a specification, but even then I don't see it as the right way 
to go.

Agreed.  I'm not opposed to expanding the scope of the M-mode kernels to boot 
on more systems, but users who want S-mode shouldn't end up with M-mode 
dependencies sneaking in.  So in this case, I'm very much in favor of the SBI 
call over accessing an M-mode CSR.
