The corresponding hardware issues of CONFIG_ERRATA_SIFIVE_CIP_453 and
CONFIG_ERRATA_SIFIVE_CIP_1200 only exist in the SiFive 64bit CPU cores.
Therefore, these two errata are required only if CONFIG_64BIT=y

For certain SiFive CPUs, "sfence.vma addr" cannot exactly flush addr
from TLB in the particular cases. The details could be found here:
https://sifive.cdn.prismic.io/sifive/167a1a56-03f4-4615-a79e-b2a86153148f_FU740_errata_20210205.pdf
In order to ensure the functionality, this patch uses the Alternative
scheme to replace all "sfence.vma addr" with "sfence.vma" at runtime.

Add sign extension to the $badaddr before addressing the instruction page
fault and instruction access fault to workaround the issue "cip-453".
To avoid affecting the existing code sequence, this patch will creates two
trampolines to add sign extension to the $badaddr. By the "alternative"
mechanism, these two trampolines will replace the original exception
handler of instruction page fault and instruction access fault in the
excp_vect_table. In this case, only the specific SiFive CPU core jumps to
the do_page_fault and do_trap_insn_fault through these two trampolines.
Other CPUs are not affected.

Introduce the "alternative" mechanism from ARM64 and x86 to apply the CPU
vendors' errata solution at runtime. The main purpose of this patch is
to provide a framework. Therefore, the implementation is quite basic for
now so that some scenarios could not use this schemei, such as patching
code to a module, relocating the patching code and heterogeneous CPU
topology.
Users could use the macro ALTERNATIVE to apply an errata to the existing
code flow. In the macro ALTERNATIVE, users need to specify the manufacturer
information(vendorid, archid, and impid) for this errata. Therefore, kernel
will know this errata is suitable for which CPU core. During the booting
procedure, kernel will select the errata required by the CPU core and then
patch it. It means that the kernel only applies the errata to the specified
CPU core. In this case, the vendor's errata does not affect each other at
runtime. The above patching procedure only occurs during the booting phase,
so we only take the overhead of the "alternative" mechanism once.
This "alternative" mechanism is enabled by default to ensure that all
required errata will be applied. However, users can disable this feature by
the Kconfig "CONFIG_RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE".
