("[PATCH v3 0/4] riscv: zicntr/zihpm flags and disable support")

Hi,

This version has several changes proposed by Drew in v5 and a design
change after a discussion we have in the v3 review [1].

Notable changes:

- zicbop extension flag is added (patch 1). Given that this is an actual
  extension, not a 'named feature', and we already implement is as a
  no-op, we're adding the flag to make our riscv,isa compliant with what
  the profile mandates;

- zic64b is no longer an user flag. zic64b is a named extension, a
  glorified way of telling that we're using 64 byte cache blocks. Users
  can indirectly set it to true/false by simply editing
  cbo{m,p,z}_blocksize;

- zic64b, an all future named extensions, are now exposed in
  query-cpu-model-expansion (patch 3);

- marking a profile as 'false' in the command line no longer disables
  its mandatory extensions in the CPU. Since profile flags are disabled
  by default in all current CPUs, setting 'rva22u64=false' will cause no
  change of state in the CPU, i.e. it'll do nothing. This is the same
  mechanic that RVG already uses and we'll make profiles behave the same
  way. We'll not "be creative" and interpret a 'false' from the command
  line mean something different than the existing 'false'. If we want a
  way to mass disable CPU extensions we can implement cleaner ways of
  doing it. See [1] for even more context/rant about the previous design
  and why we're changing it.

Patches based on top of:

[PATCH v3 0/4] riscv: zicntr/zihpm flags and disable support

Patches missing acks: patches 1,2,3

Changes from v5:
- patch 1 (new):
  - add zicbop extension flag
- patch 2 (patch 1 from v5):
  - zic64b no longer exposed as user flag, no longer throwing user warnings
- patch 3 (new):
  - change query-cpu-model-expansion to include named extensions like zic64b
- patch 4 (patch 2 from v5):
  - remove extra whitespace in profile description comment
  - added "(nor for zic64b, despite it having a cfg offset)" in the profile 
description comment
  - moved 'NULL' to its own line  in riscv_profiles[]
  - added 'zicbop' as a mandatory profile extension
- patch 6 (patch 4 from v5):
  - add 64 bit CPU restriction for profiles
  - marking a profile as 'false' no longer removes all the mandatory extensions 
of the CPU model,
    making it compatible with what RVG does:
      profileA=true means "enable all mandatory extensions of profileA"
      profileA=false means "do not enable all mandatory extensions of profileA"
