[PATCH v4 5/8] RISC-V: cpufeature: Put vendor_id to work

When [ab]using alternatives as cpufeature "static keys", which can
be used in assembly, also put vendor_id to work as application-
specific data. This will be initially used in Zicboz's application to
clear_page(), as Zicboz's block size must also be considered. In that
case, vendor_id's role will be to convey the maximum block size which
the Zicboz clear_page() implementation supports.

cpufeature alternative applications which need to check for the
existence or absence of other cpufeatures may also be able to make
use of this.
