  Hey,

Based on my latest iteration of deprecating riscv,isa [1], here's an
implementation of the new properties for Linux. The first few patches,
up to "RISC-V: split riscv_fill_hwcap() in 3", are all prep work that
further tames some of the extension related code, on top of my already
applied series that cleans up the ISA string parser.
Perhaps "RISC-V: shunt isa_ext_arr to cpufeature.c" is a bit gratuitous,
but I figured a bit of coalescing of extension related data structures
would be a good idea. Note that riscv,isa will still be used in the
absence of the new properties. Palmer suggested adding a Kconfig option
to turn off the fallback for DT, which I have gone and done. It's locked
behind the NONPORTABLE option for good reason.

In v2, I've also come up with a more reasonable name for the new
function I added & fixed up various comments from Drew and Evan.

In v3, there's the new commandline option that Drew suggested. I have
Also picked up a patch from Palmer that adds more helpful prints where
harts fail the checks in riscv_early_of_processor_id(), and I've
sprinkled a few more of those prints in my new additions to the
function.

v4 just rebases on v6.5-rc1 and fixes the nommu build issue due to a
missing __init.

In v5, I've fixed issues spotted by myself & Evan. I'm not the worlds
biggest fan of the strlen() calls inside the macro - but that's going to
go away again almost immediately if the scalar crypto stuff gets merged.
I also spotted an issue with a rebase I did at some point, where the
dedicated properties did not use isainfo->isa & created a bitmap for
each cpu, which would've caused the per-hart extension tracking to
break.

Cheers,
Conor.

[1] (it's in v6.5-rc1 now)
