This cleans up the module support that was commited earlier to work with
what's actually emitted from our GCC port as it lands upstream. Most of
the work here is adding new relocations to the kernel.
There's some limitations on module loading imposed by the kernel:
* The kernel doesn't support linker relaxation, which is necessary to
support R_RISCV_ALIGN. In order to get reliable module building
you're going to need to a GCC that supports the new '-mno-relax',
which IIRC isn't going to be out until 8.1.0. It's somewhat unlikely
that R_RISCV_ALIGN will appear in a module even without '-mno-relax'
support, so issues shouldn't be common.
* There is no large code model for RISC-V, which means modules must be
loaded within a 32-bit signed offset of the kernel. We don't
currently have any mechanism for ensuring this memory remains free or
moving pages around, so issues here might be common.
I fixed a singcle merge conflict in arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile.
The address of external symbols will locate more than 32-bit offset
in 64-bit kernel with sv39 or sv48 virtual addressing.
Module loader emits the GOT and PLT entries for data symbols and
function symbols respectively.
The PLT entry is a trampoline code for jumping to the 64-bit
real address. The GOT entry is just the data symbol address.

Now recordmcount.pl recognizes RISC-V object files. For the mechanism to
work, we have to disable the linker relaxation.

This patch contains all the build infrastructure that actually enables
the RISC-V port. This includes Makefiles, linker scripts, and Kconfig
files. It also contains the only top-level change, which adds RISC-V to
the list of architectures that need a sed run to produce the ARCH
variable when building locally.
