Applying this patch together with

riscv: Fix early alternative patching
riscv: Fix Zbb alternative IDs

_and_ disabling CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB fixes all problems observed with
riscv64 for me. With that,

Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux at roeck-us.net>

Unfortunately I still see boot failures when trying to boot riscv32
images, so something is still broken. I don't know yet if that is
a generic problem or if it is related to a riscv patch.
I am still trying to track that down ...
