Currently, flush_icache_all is macro-expanded into a SBI call, yet no
asm/sbi.h is included in asm/cacheflush.h. This could be moved to
mm/cacheflush.c instead (SBI call will dominate performance-wise and
there is no worry to not have it inlined.
Currently, flush_icache_mm stays in kernel/smp.c, which looks like a
hack to prevent it from being compiled when CONFIG_SMP=n. It should
also be in mm/cacheflush.c.

The RISC-V ISA allows for instruction caches that are not coherent WRT
stores, even on a single hart. As a result, we need to explicitly flush
the instruction cache whenever marking a dirty page as executable in
order to preserve the correct system behavior.
Local instruction caches aren't that scary (our implementations actually
flush the cache, but RISC-V is defined to allow higher-performance
implementations to exist), but RISC-V defines no way to perform an
instruction cache shootdown. When explicitly asked to do so we can
shoot down remote instruction caches via an IPI, but this is a bit on
the slow side.
Instead of requiring an IPI to all harts whenever marking a page as
executable, we simply flush the currently running harts. In order to
maintain correct behavior, we additionally mark every other hart as
needing a deferred instruction cache which will be taken before anything
runs on it.
