[PATCH v3 0/3] nolibc: add part2 of support for rv32

Hi, Arnd

Because this patchset is a 'big' change derived from the idea of suggestion
from you [3], I do very welcome your feedback about this change, just like
Thomas suggested, this requires more discussion before Willy plan to determine
merge it or not.

The first two convert all compile failures to a return of -ENOSYS, if you do
like it, welcome your Reviewed-by. These two are required by the coming new
time64 syscalls for rv32, because they depends on how we cope with the
unsupported syscalls, returning -ENOSYS is really better than simply fail the
compiling.

Hi, Thomas, If you are happy with them, welcome your Reviewed-by too, thanks.
If the first two are ok, then, I can focus on preparing the left time64
patchsets.

The third one is not that urgent, because some important syscalls are
still missing for rv32. It is added here only for compile test.

Thanks,
Zhangjin
