This series adds initial KVM RISC-V support. Currently, we are able to boot

Thanks for doing this. I haven't had time to take a real look at the patch
series yet, but it's at the top of my inbox now so I'll try to take a look this
week.


Few key aspects of KVM RISC-V added by this series are:
1. Minimal possible KVM world-switch which touches only GPRs and few CSRs.
2. Full Guest/VM switch is done via vcpu_get/vcpu_put infrastructure.
3. KVM ONE_REG interface for VCPU register access from user-space.
4. PLIC emulation is done in user-space.
5. Timer and IPI emuation is done in-kernel.
6. MMU notifiers supported.
7. FP lazy save/restore supported.
8. SBI v0.1 emulation for KVM Guest available.
9. Forward unhandled SBI calls to KVM userspace.
10. Hugepage support for Guest/VM

Here's a brief TODO list which we will work upon after this series:
1. SBI v0.2 emulation in-kernel
2. SBI v0.2 hart state management emulation in-kernel
3. In-kernel PLIC emulation
4. ..... and more .....

This series can be found in riscv_kvm_v10 branch at:
https//github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Our work-in-progress KVMTOOL RISC-V port can be found in riscv_v1 branch
at: https//github.com/avpatel/kvmtool.git

The QEMU RISC-V hypervisor emulation is done by Alistair and is available
in mainline/alistair/riscv-hyp-ext-v0.5.1 branch at:
https://github.com/kvm-riscv/qemu.git
