Now that the kernel can handle misaligned accesses in S-mode, request
misaligned access exception delegation from SBI. This uses the FWFT SBI
extension defined in SBI version 3.0.

Ensure we only print messages about command line parameters when
the parameters are actually in use. Also complain about the use
of the vector parameter when vector support isn't available.

Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> says:
The first six patches of this series are fixes and cleanups of the
unaligned access speed probing code. The next patch introduces a
kernel command line option that allows the probing to be skipped.
This command line option is a different approach than Jesse's [1].
[1] takes a cpu-list for a particular speed, supporting heterogeneous
platforms. With this approach, the kernel command line should only
be used for homogeneous platforms. [1] also only allowed 'fast' and
'slow' to be selected. This parameter also supports 'unsupported',
which could be useful for testing code paths gated on that. The final
patch adds the documentation.

Allow skipping scalar and vector unaligned access speed tests. This
is useful for testing alternative code paths and to skip the tests in
environments where they run too slowly. All CPUs must have the same
unaligned access speed.
The code movement is because we now need the scalar cpu hotplug
callback to always run, so we need to bring it and its supporting
functions out of CONFIG_RISCV_PROBE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.

Whether or not we have RISCV_PROBE_VECTOR_UNALIGNED_ACCESS we need to
set up a cpu hotplug callback to check if we have vector at all,
since, when we don't have vector, we need to set
vector_misaligned_access to unsupported rather than leave it the
default of unknown.

The return value of check_unaligned_access_speed_all_cpus() is always
zero, so make the function void so we don't need to concern ourselves
with it. The change also allows us to tidy up
check_unaligned_access_all_cpus() a bit.

check_vector_unaligned_access_emulated_all_cpus(), like its name
suggests, will return true when all cpus emulate unaligned vector
accesses. If the function returned false it may have been because
vector isn't supported at all (!has_vector()) or because at least
one cpu doesn't emulate unaligned vector accesses. Since false may
be returned for two cases, checking for it isn't sufficient when
attempting to determine if we should proceed with the vector speed
check. Move the !has_vector() functionality to
check_unaligned_access_all_cpus() in order for
check_vector_unaligned_access_emulated_all_cpus() to return false
for a single case.

We shouldn't probe when we already know vector is unsupported and
we should probe when we see we don't yet know whether it's supported.
Furthermore, we should ensure we've set the access type to
unsupported when we don't have vector at all.

The check_unaligned_access_emulated() function should have been called
during CPU hotplug to ensure that if all CPUs had emulated unaligned
accesses, the new CPU also does.
This patch adds the call to check_unaligned_access_emulated() in
the hotplug path.

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.
So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument
count * size in the kzalloc() function.
Also, it is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the
former (unlike the latter).

Introduce Kconfig options to set the kernel unaligned access support.
These options provide a non-portable alternative to the runtime
unaligned access probe.
To support this, the unaligned access probing code is moved into it's
own file and gated behind a new RISCV_PROBE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS_SUPPORT
option.
