These are no longer necessary now that we have a more standard extable

Currently there's a limit of 8MB for the .text section of a RISC-V
image in the XIP case. This breaks compilation of many automatic
builds and is generally inconvenient. This patch removes that
limitation and optimizes XIP image file size at the same time.

In addition to We have a handful of new features for 5.14:
* Support for transparent huge pages.
* Support for generic PCI resources mapping.
* Support for the mem= kernel parameter.
* Support for KFENCE.
* A handful of fixes to avoid W+X mappings in the kernel.
* Support for VMAP_STACK based overflow detection.
* An optimized copy_{to,from}_user.

RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE patches text at runtime which is currently
not possible when the kernel is executed from the flash in XIP mode.
Since runtime patching concerns only traps at the moment, let's just
have all the traps reside in RAM anyway if RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE
is set. Thus, these functions will be patch-able even when the .text
section is in flash.

Introduce XIP (eXecute In Place) support for RISC-V platforms.
It allows code to be executed directly from non-volatile storage
directly addressable by the CPU, such as QSPI NOR flash which can
be found on many RISC-V platforms. This makes way for significant
optimization of RAM footprint. The XIP kernel is not compressed
since it has to run directly from flash, so it will occupy more
space on the non-volatile storage. The physical flash address used
to link the kernel object files and for storing it has to be known
at compile time and is represented by a Kconfig option.
XIP on RISC-V will for the time being only work on MMU-enabled
kernels.
