RVG behaves like a profile: a single flag enables a set of bits. Right
now we're considering user choice when handling RVG and zicsr/zifencei
and ignoring user choice on MISA bits.
We'll add user warnings for profiles when the user disables its
mandatory extensions in the next patch. We'll do the same thing with RVG
now to keep consistency between RVG and profile handling.
First and foremost, create a new RVG only helper to avoid clogging
riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions(). We do not want to annoy users with
RVG warnings like we did in the past (see 9b9741c38f), thus we'll only
warn if RVG was user set and the user disabled a RVG extension in the
command line.
For every RVG MISA bit (IMAFD), zicsr and zifencei, the logic then
becomes:
- if enabled, do nothing;
- if disabled and not user set, enable it;
- if disabled and user set, throw a warning that it's a RVG mandatory
extension.
This same logic will be used for profiles in the next patch.
Note that this is a behavior change, where we would error out if the
user disabled either zicsr or zifencei. As long as users are explicitly
disabling things in the command line we'll let them have a go at it, at
least in this step. We'll error out later in the validation if needed.
Other notable changes from the previous RVG code:
- use riscv_cpu_write_misa_bit() instead of manually updating both
env->misa_ext and env->misa_ext_mask;
- set zicsr and zifencei directly. We're already checking if they
were user set and priv version will never fail for these
extensions, making cpu_cfg_ext_auto_update() redundant.
