Add support for exposing the Zicbom extension to guests. This has been
tested over a QEMU including the Zicbom support [1] ([1] was rebased and
the Zicboz support from it was dropped.) QEMU was further modified to
ensure the cache block size was provided in the DT. kvmtool was also
modified [2] to test the new KVM API and provide the guest the cache
block size in its DT (The kvmtool patches are based on Anup's Svpbmt/Sstc
series [3]). These KVM patches are based on the riscv_init_cbom_blocksize()
cleanup patch from Palmer and the move and expose riscv_cbom_block_size
patch from Anup which was reposted [4]. This series is also available here
[5].

Thanks,

v3:
 - Added check to ensure the extension is enabled for
   config.get(blocksz) [Atish and Anup]
 - Opportunistically switched all extension checks in
   kvm_riscv_vcpu_update_config() to riscv_isa_extension_available()
   from its __ counterpart
 - Picked up some r-b's

v2:
 - Dropped a patch that output the cache block size to dmesg
