During review the naming of the function-pointer was called
confusing as the vendor id is just one of three inputs for
the patching and indeed it serves no real purpose, as with
recent changes the function pointer is not a static
global element anymore, so drop the "vendor_" prefix.

Some current cpus based on T-Head cores implement memory-types
way different than described in the svpbmt spec even going
so far as using PTE bits marked as reserved.
Add the T-Head vendor-id and necessary errata code to
replace the affected instructions.

Right now the code uses a global struct to store vendor-ids
and another global variable to store the vendor-patch-function.
There exist specific cases where we'll need to patch the kernel
at an even earlier stage, where trying to write to a static
variable might actually result in hangs.
Also collecting the vendor-information consists of 3 sbi-ecalls
(or csr-reads) which is pretty negligible in the context of
booting a kernel.
So rework the code to not rely on static variables and instead
collect the vendor-information when a round of alternatives is
to be applied.

Svpbmt (the S should be capitalized) is the
"Supervisor-mode: page-based memory types" extension
that specifies attributes for cacheability, idempotency
and ordering.
The relevant settings are done in special bits in PTEs:
Here is the svpbmt PTE format:
| 63 | 62-61 | 60-8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
N MT RSW D A G U X W R V
^
Of the Reserved bits [63:54] in a leaf PTE, the high bit is already
allocated (as the N bit), so bits [62:61] are used as the MT (aka
MemType) field. This field specifies one of three memory types that
are close equivalents (or equivalent in effect) to the three main x86
and ARMv8 memory types - as shown in the following table.
RISC-V
Encoding &
MemType RISC-V Description
---------- ------------------------------------------------
00 - PMA Normal Cacheable, No change to implied PMA memory type
01 - NC Non-cacheable, idempotent, weakly-ordered Main Memory
10 - IO Non-cacheable, non-idempotent, strongly-ordered I/O memory
11 - Rsvd Reserved for future standard use
As the extension will not be present on all implementations,
implement a method to handle cpufeatures via alternatives
to not incur runtime penalties on cpu variants not supporting
specific extensions and patch relevant code parts at runtime.

This allows alternatives to also be applied when loading modules
and follows the implementation of other architectures (e.g. arm64).

Future features may need to be applied at a different
time during boot, so allow defining stages for alternatives
and handling them differently depending on the stage.
Also make the alternatives-location more flexible so that
future stages may provide their own location.

Right now the alternatives need to be explicitly enabled and
erratas are limited to SiFive ones.
We want to use alternatives not only for patching soc erratas,
but in the future also for handling different behaviour depending
on the existence of future extensions.
So move the core alternatives over to the kernel subdirectory
and move the CONFIG_RISCV_ALTERNATIVE to be a hidden symbol
which we expect relevant erratas and extensions to just select
if needed.
