[PATCH v4 00/20] riscv: report more ISA extensions through hwprobe

In order to be able to gather more information about the supported ISA
extensions from userspace using the hwprobe syscall, add more ISA
extensions report. This series adds the following ISA extensions parsing
support:

- Zfh[min]
- Zvfh[min]
- Zihintntl
- Zbc
- Zvbb
- Zvbc
- Zvkb
- Zvkg
- Zvkned
- Zvknh[ab]
- Zvksed
- Zvksh
- Zvkn
- Zvknc
- Zvkng
- Zvks
- Zvksc
- Zvksg
- Zvkt
- Zfa
- Zbkb
- Zbkc
- Zbkx
- Zknd
- Zkne
- Zknh
- Zkr
- Zksed
- Zksh
- Zkt

Some of these extensions are actually shorthands for other "sub"
extensions. This series includes a patch from Conor/Evan that adds a way
to specify such "bundled" extensions. When exposing these bundled
extensions to userspace through hwprobe, only the "sub" extensions are
exposed.

In order to test it, one can use qemu and the small hwprobe utility
provided[1]. Run qemu by specifying additional ISA extensions, for
instance:

$ qemu-system-riscv64 -cpu rv64,v=true,zk=true,zvksh=true,zvkned=true
  <whatever options you want>

Then, run hwprobe:

$ ./hwprobe
Base system ISA:
 - IMA_FD
 - C
 - V
Supported extensions:
 - Zba
 - Zbb
 - Zbs
 - Zbc
 - Zbkb
 - Zbkc
 - Zbkx
 - Zknd
 - Zkne
 - Zknh
 - Zkt
 - Zvkned
 - Zvksh
 - Zihintntl
 - Zfa

Changes in V4:
 - Rebase on master
 - Do not represent zvknhb as a superset anymore
 - Remove mention to hwprobe in dt-bindings documents
 - Add a text specifying that Zkr string dt binding means that the CSR
   provided by Zkr are accessible only by the privilege level to which
the device-tree has been provided.
 - Use a pointer for extension instead of struct copy in patch 1
 - Add missing RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZBC define
 - Remove ISA check macro since another similar commit was merged

Changes in V3:
 - Rebased on top of origin/master
 - Rename bundle_ext to subset_ext since it is used for superset
   extensions (Zvbb for instance).
 - Add an invalid id for pure lasso extension
 - Fix wrong type for check_isa ext, int -> unsigned int
 - Use bundled extension for ZVBB/ZVNHB
 - Split ZBC hwprobe support from scalar crypto patch
 - Fix typos (Evan)
 - Added a few Rb: from Evan
 - Change Zfh/Zfhmin to Zfh[min] to be more coherent with other commits
 - Reword comment about CHECK_ISA_EXT to be more clear

Changes in V2:
 - Fix typo in first commit title (fatorize->factorize)
 - Add Zfa support
 - Fix missing uppercase for Zvkt naming in dt-bindings
 - Add Conor Acked-by on dt-bindings commits
 - Add scalar crypto support from Conor/Evan.
 - Use reporting of bunbled extensions for vector crypto
