Uh, where is this specified? I don’t see that, and that would be odd.
The spec clearly says that if supervisor software interrupts are
implemented then the bit is writeable, with no caveats on when (beyond
the permissions required to access the CSR in general).

This patch does make sense for a different reason though: that IPIs may
not be using software interrupts at all (in the IMSIC case).
