We've had a ton of issues around the ISA string parsing rules elsewhere
in RISC-V, so let's at least be clear about what the rules are so we can
try and avoid more issues.

I'm not sure if there's a better place to put this, but I figure it doesn't
hurt to have it duplicated in the kernel docs so it's easier to find.
