doc: update QEMU RISC-V documentation

Browse Source 
The available defconfigs for RISC-V QEMU have changed. We now have
configurations to compile U-Boot to run in supervisor mode and for
U-Boot SPL. Update the QEMU RISC-V documentation to reflect these
changes.

QEMU for RISC-V supports a special 'virt' machine designed for emulation and
virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.
Both 32-bit 64-bit targets are supported.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit targets are supported, running in either machine or
supervisor mode.
The QEMU virt machine models a generic RISC-V virtual machine with support for
the VirtIO standard networking and block storage devices. It has CLINT, PLIC,

This will compile U-Boot for machine mode. To build supervisor mode binaries,
use the configurations qemu-riscv32_smode_defconfig and
qemu-riscv64_smode_defconfig instead. Note that U-Boot running in supervisor
mode requires a supervisor binary interface (SBI), such as RISC-V OpenSBI.

For instructions on how to run U-Boot in supervisor mode on QEMU
with OpenSBI, see the documentation available with OpenSBI:
https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/qemu_virt.md
These have been tested in QEMU 3.0.0.
Running U-Boot SPL
------------------
In the default SPL configuration, U-Boot SPL starts in machine mode. U-Boot
proper and OpenSBI (FW_DYNAMIC firmware) are bundled as FIT image and made
available to U-Boot SPL. Both are then loaded by U-Boot SPL and the location
of U-Boot proper is passed to OpenSBI. After initialization, U-Boot proper is
started in supervisor mode by OpenSBI.
OpenSBI must be compiled before compiling U-Boot. Version 0.4 and higher is
supported by U-Boot. Clone the OpenSBI repository and run the following command.
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://github.com/riscv/opensbi.git
cd opensbi
make PLATFORM=qemu/virt
See the OpenSBI documentation for full details:
https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/qemu_virt.md
To make the FW_DYNAMIC binary (build/platform/qemu/virt/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin)
available to U-Boot, either copy it into the U-Boot root directory or specify
its location with the OPENSBI environment variable. Afterwards, compile U-Boot
with the following commands.
- For 32-bit RISC-V::
make qemu-riscv32_spl_defconfig
make
- For 64-bit RISC-V::
make qemu-riscv64_spl_defconfig
make
The minimal QEMU commands to run U-Boot SPL in both 32-bit and 64-bit
configurations are:
- For 32-bit RISC-V::
qemu-system-riscv32 -nographic -machine virt -kernel spl/u-boot-spl \
-device loader,file=u-boot.itb,addr=0x80200000
- For 64-bit RISC-V::
qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt -kernel spl/u-boot-spl \
-device loader,file=u-boot.itb,addr=0x80200000
