RISC-V Linux Port v2

Thanks to everyone who has participated in the review process so far. We've
made a lot of changes since the v1 and while this isn't ready to go yet, I
finally managed to get through everything in my inbox so I thought it would be
a good time to submit a v2 so everyone is on the same page.
A highlight of the changes since the v1 patch set includes:
* We've split out our drivers into the right places, which means now there's
a lot more patches. I'll be submitting these patches to various subsystem
maintainers and including them in any future RISC-V patch sets until
they've been merged.
* The SBI console driver has been completely rewritten to use the HVC helpers
and is now significantly smaller.
* We've begun to use weaker barries as opposed to just the big "fence".
There's still some work to do here, specifically:
- We need fences in the realxed MMIO functions.
- The non-relaxed MMIO functions are missing R/W bits on their fences.
- Many AMOs need the aq and rl bits set.
* We now have thread_info in task_struct. As a result, sscratch now contains
TP instead of SP. This was necessary because thread_info is no longer on
the stack.
* A few shared routines have been added that we use instead of creating
another arch copy.
Here's my TODO list
* The memory model changes indicated above.
* I need to go through checkpatch again to make sure none of the messages are
valid problems.
* Put an implementation of atomic compare/exchange in the VDSO when atomic
instructions are enabled, otherwise insert stubs to the cmpxchg syscall.
* Remove the extra multiplexing in the cmpxchg syscall.
Aside from those two releatively minor ABI issues, I think our ABI is in good
shape. Unless there are any other issues that crop up I'd like to begin our
glibc submission early next week.
