This assumes we'll never need a validation callback for a Linux-internal
ISA extension. We can make that assumption now and change our mind
later, but we could also add Xlinuxenvcfg to riscv_isa_ext now and
modify the places where it matters (just print_isa?). If we add
Xlinuxenvcfg to the array with a NULL name then we could do something
like

print_isa()
{
for (...) {
...
if (!riscv_isa_ext[i].name)
continue;
}
}

If we'd rather leave Xlinuxenvcfg out of the array (and generally support
extensions not in the array), then LGTM
