[PATCH v7 02/13] riscv: integrate alternatives better into the main architecture

Mon Mar 7 12:52:59 PST 2022


Right now the alternatives need to be explicitly enabled and
erratas are limited to SiFive ones.

Over time with more SoCs and additional RiscV extensions, many more
erratas or other patch-worthy features will emerge, so it doesn't
really make sense to have the core alternatives able to get
deactivated.

So make it part of the core RiscV kernel and drop the main
RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVES config symbol.

This mimics how i.e. arm64 handles its alternatives implementation.
