From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer at rivosinc.com>

Right now we provide a somewhat unhelpful error message on systems with
invalid error messages, something along the lines of

	CPU with hartid=0 is not available
	------------[ cut here ]------------
	kernel BUG at arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c:174!
	Kernel BUG [#1]

	Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Add a warning for the cases where the ISA string isn't valid.  It's still
above the BUG_ON cut, but hopefully it's at least a bit easier for users.
