riscv uses a single leading underscore.

This looks reasonable, at least from a "do what arm64 does" type of
perspective. Why the RFC? Is it not tested?

Also, if you repost, could please neaten it up a bit? Aligning all
the defines would help and removing the extra blank line. Finally,
why wasn't the "/* Enable topology flag updates */" comment also
lifted from arm64 like the others?

Thanks,
