And here's the second patch, separated out from your original, which adds 
the Svinval path.  Thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH] riscv: mm: Use Svinval if present in update_mmu_cache_range()

If the Svinval extension is present, use it in
update_mmu_cache_range(), rather than using the standard sfence.vma.
Svinval should be faster.
