Add 2 early command line parameters that allow to downgrade satp mode
(using the same naming as x86):
- "no5lvl": use a 4-level page table (down from sv57 to sv48)
- "no4lvl": use a 3-level page table (down from sv57/sv48 to sv39)
Note that going through the device tree to get the kernel command line
works with ACPI too since the efi stub creates a device tree anyway with
the command line.
In KASAN kernels, we can't use the libfdt that early in the boot process
since we are not ready to execute instrumented functions. So instead of
using the "generic" libfdt, we compile our own versions of those functions
that are not instrumented and that are prefixed so that they do not
conflict with the generic ones. We also need the non-instrumented versions
of the string functions and the prefixed versions of memcpy/memmove.
This is largely inspired by commit aacd149b62 ("arm64: head: avoid
relocating the kernel twice for KASLR") from which I removed compilation
flags that were not relevant to RISC-V at the moment (LTO, SCS). Also
note that we have to link with -z norelro to avoid ld.lld to throw a
warning with the new .got sections, like in commit 311bea3cb9 ("arm64:
link with -z norelro for LLD or aarch64-elf").

When using alternatives for cpufeatures we should include hwcap.h
directly, rather than through errata_list.h. Opportunistically drop
an unused include too.

Adapt the suggestions for the assembly string functions that Andrew
suggested but that I didn't manage to include into the series that
got applied.
This includes improvements to two comments, removal of unneeded labels
and moving one instruction slightly higher to contradict an
explanatory comment.

Commit 4bf8860760 ("riscv: cpufeature: extend
riscv_cpufeature_patch_func to all ISA extensions") switched ISA
extension alternatives to use the RISCV_ISA_EXT_* macros instead of
CPUFEATURE_*. This was mismerged when applied on top of the Zbb series,
so the Zbb alternatives referenced the wrong errata ID values.

Add handling for ZBB extension and add support for using it as a
variant for optimized string functions.
Support for the Zbb-str-variants is limited to the GNU-assembler
for now, as LLVM has not yet acquired the functionality to
selectively change the arch option in assembler code.
This is still under review at

Depending on supported extensions on specific RISC-V cores,
optimized str* functions might make sense.
This adds basic infrastructure to allow patching the function calls
via alternatives later on.
The Linux kernel provides standard implementations for string functions
but when architectures want to extend them, they need to provide their
own.
The added generic string functions are done in assembler (taken from
disassembling the main-kernel functions for now) to allow us to control
the used registers and extend them with optimized variants.
This doesn't override the compiler's use of builtin replacements. So still
first of all the compiler will select if a builtin will be better suitable
i.e. for known strings. For all regular cases we will want to later
select possible optimized variants and in the worst case fall back to the
generic implemention added with this change.
