riscv: add cpufeature handling via alternatives

A patch from »svpbmt und so« in state Mainline for linux-kernel

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...> Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2021 12:01:49 +0100

Commit-Message

Some cpufeatures should be handled via the alternatives mechanism to not incur penalties on unsupporting variants. So add a mechanism to handle these similar to cpu erratas. Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...>
