[PATCH for-8.1 v3 23/26] target/riscv: rework write_misa()

write_misa() must use as much common logic as possible. We want to open code just the bits that are exclusive to the CSR write operation and TCG internals. Rewrite write_misa() to work as follows: - mask the write using misa_ext_mask to avoid enabling unsupported extensions; - suppress RVC if

riscv_cpu_validate_v() consists of checking RVV related attributes, such as vlen and elen, and setting env->vext_spec. This can be done during riscv_cpu_validate_misa_ext() time, allowing us to fail earlier if RVV constrains are not met. Signed-off-by: Daniel Henrique Barboza --- target/riscv/c

[PATCH for-8.1 v3 15/26] target/riscv/cpu.c: split RVG code from validate_set_extensions()

We can set all RVG related extensions during realize time, before validate_set_extensions() itself. Put it in a separated function so the validate function already uses the updated state. Note that we're adding an extra constraint: ext_zfinx is a blocker for F, which is a requirement to enable G.

write_misa() is able to use the same validation workflow riscv_cpu_realize() uses. But it's still not capable of updating cpu->cfg misa props yet. We have no way of blocking future (and current) code from checking env->misa_ext (via riscv_has_ext()) or reading cpu->cfg directly, so our best altern
