Kernel uses __kvm_riscv_switch_to() and __kvm_switch_return() to switch
the context of host kernel and guest kernel. Several CSRs belonging to the
context will be read and written during the context switch. To ensure
atomic read-modify-write control of CSR and ordering of CSR accesses, some
hardware blocks flush the pipeline when writing a CSR. In this
circumstance, grouping CSR executions together as much as possible can
reduce the performance impact of the pipeline. Therefore, this commit
reorders the CSR instructions to enhance the context switch performance..

This patch adds floating point (F and D extension) context save/restore
for guest VCPUs. The FP context is saved and restored lazily only when
kernel enter/exits the in-kernel run loop and not during the KVM world
switch. This way FP save/restore has minimal impact on KVM performance.

We will get stage2 page faults whenever Guest/VM access SW emulated
MMIO device or unmapped Guest RAM.
This patch implements MMIO read/write emulation by extracting MMIO
details from the trapped load/store instruction and forwarding the
MMIO read/write to user-space. The actual MMIO emulation will happen
in user-space and KVM kernel module will only take care of register
updates before resuming the trapped VCPU.
The handling for stage2 page faults for unmapped Guest RAM will be
implemeted by a separate patch later.

This patch implements the VCPU world-switch for KVM RISC-V.
The KVM RISC-V world-switch (i.e. __kvm_riscv_switch_to()) mostly
switches general purpose registers, SSTATUS, STVEC, SSCRATCH and
HSTATUS CSRs. Other CSRs are switched via vcpu_load() and vcpu_put()
interface in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() and kvm_arch_vcpu_put() functions
respectively.
