[PATCH v5 0/7] riscv: Add support for xmipsexectl

[Aleksa Paunovic via B4 Relay]

This patch series adds support for the xmipsexectl vendor extension.
A new hardware probe key has also been added to allow userspace to probe for MIPS vendor extensions.

Additionally, since the standard Zihintpause PAUSE instruction encoding is not supported on some MIPS CPUs,
an errata was implemented for replacing this instruction with the xmipsexectl MIPS.PAUSE alternative encoding.

Changes in v5:
- Add MIPS.IHB and MIPS.EHB instructions
- Rebase on alex-for-next
- Address other smaller comments pointed out by Alexandre
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250625-p8700-pause-v4-0-6c7dd7f85756@htecgroup.com

This is a continuation of a previous series, which did not implement the full
xmipsexectl vendor extension. The title was updated accordingly.

Changes in v4:
- Add support for the xmipsexectl vendor extension
- Remove the ifdef/else from errata_list.h
- Replace the ifdef/else with a hwprobe call in the userspace code.
