[PATCH V6 0/6] RISC-V fixups to work with crash tool

[Conor.Dooley at microchip.com]

Hey Xianting,
I still think the commit subjects could be more specific, but
not going to suggest wasting your time respinning for that.
Cosmetically:
Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>

@Palmer Would you consider at least patches 1-3 of the series
for 6.0?
Thanks,
Conor.
