The generic KVM has support for VCPU requests which can be used
to do arch-specific work in the run-loop. We introduce remote
HFENCE functions which will internally use VCPU requests instead
of host SBI calls.
Advantages of doing remote HFENCEs as VCPU requests are:
1) Multiple VCPUs of a Guest may be running on different Host CPUs
so it is not always possible to determine the Host CPU mask for
doing Host SBI call. For example, when VCPU X wants to do HFENCE
on VCPU Y, it is possible that VCPU Y is blocked or in user-space
(i.e. vcpu->cpu < 0).
2) To support nested virtualization, we will be having a separate
shadow G-stage for each VCPU and a common host G-stage for the
entire Guest/VM. The VCPU requests based remote HFENCEs helps
us easily synchronize the common host G-stage and shadow G-stage
of each VCPU without any additional IPI calls.
This is also a preparatory patch for upcoming nested virtualization
support where we will be having a shadow G-stage page table for
each Guest VCPU.

We should treat SBI HFENCE calls as NOPs until nested virtualization
is supported by KVM RISC-V. This will help us test booting a hypervisor
under KVM RISC-V.

The SBI v0.3 specification defines SRST (System Reset) extension which
provides a standard poweroff and reboot interface. This patch implements
SRST extension for the KVM Guest.

Currently, SBI APIs accept a hartmask that is generated from struct
cpumask. Cpumask data structure can hold upto NR_CPUs value. Thus, it
is not the correct data structure for hartids as it can be higher
than NR_CPUs for platforms with sparse or discontguous hartids.
Remove all association between hartid mask and struct cpumask.

The SBI v0.2 contains some of the improved versions of required v0.1
extensions such as remote fence, timer and IPI.
This patch implements those extensions.
