AIA is not some optional extension. It defines the RISC-V interrupt
architecture going forward and will be the default implementation
in the future. IMO, this will be a slippery slope if we start
supporting custom implementations to override interrupt ID definitions
via custom cpu features. T-head implementation works perfectly fine as
an errata and I don't understand why
there is a push to make it a cpu feature. We should try to improve the
ecosystem for future platforms rather than bending
backwards to support older implementations.

I understand the push to brand this as a custom extension if current
errata/alternative can't support it. But I don't think that's the case
here though. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes. That's a perfectly valid mechanism for actual custom/vendor ISA extensions.
I'm sure we'll have many of those, which will be leveraged via pseudo
extensions in the DT.
However, these shouldn't co-exist with standard ISA extensions in the
namespace in riscv_isa_ext and/or hwprobe.
The vendor-specific extensions should be defined under a
vendor-specific namespace.
This was another issue with this series as well. I didn't raise this
topic earlier because I don't think overriding interrupt
identities qualifies for a custom ISA extension
