[RFC PATCH 0/4] Introduce & Optimize compat-mode helpers

I just saw the opportunity of optimizing the helper is_compat_task() by
introducing a compile-time test, and it made possible to remove some
#ifdef's without any loss of performance.

I also saw the possibility of removing the direct check of task flags from
general code, and concentrated it in asm/compat.h by creating a few more
helpers, which in the end helped optimize code.

Leonardo Bras (4):
  riscv: Replace direct thread flag check with is_compat_task()
  riscv: add compile-time test into is_compat_task()
  riscv: Introduce is_compat_thread() into compat.h
  riscv: Introduce set_compat_task() in asm/compat.h
