[PATCH V2 0/6] riscv: Add GENERIC_ENTRY, IRQ_STACKS support

[Conor.Dooley at microchip.com]

Hey Guo Ren,
(off topic: is Guo or Ren your given name?)

This series seems to introduce a build warning:

arch/riscv/kernel/irq.c:17:1: warning: symbol 'irq_stack_ptr' was not declared. Should it be static?

One more comment below:

I find this really confusing. The same patch is in two different series?
Is the above series no longer required & this is a different approach?
Thanks,
Conor.
