[PATCH 6/7] RISC-V: add infrastructure to allow different str* implementations

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner at vrull.eu>

Depending on supported extensions on specific RISC-V cores,
optimized str* functions might make sense.

This adds basic infrastructure to allow patching the function calls
via alternatives later on.

The main idea is to have the core str* functions be inline functions
which then call the most optimized variant and this call then be
replaced via alternatives.

The big advantage is that we don't need additional calls.
Though we need to duplicate the generic functions as the main code
expects either itself or the architecture to provide the str* functions.

The added *_generic functions are done in assembler (taken from
disassembling the main-kernel functions for now) to allow us to control
the used registers.
