New version is not compatible on supervisor mode with v1.9.1
(previous version).
Highlights:
o BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) provides no initial page tables
anymore allowing us to choose VM, to build page tables manually
and enable MMU in S-mode.
o SBI interface changed.
o GENERIC kernel.
FDT is now chosen standard for RISC-V hardware description.
DTB is now provided by Spike (golden model simulator). This
allows us to introduce GENERIC kernel. However, description
for console and timer devices is not provided in DTB, so move
these devices temporary to nexus bus.
o Supervisor can't access userspace by default. Solution is to
set SUM (permit Supervisor User Memory access) bit in sstatus
register.
o Compressed extension is now turned on by default.
o External GCC 7.1 compiler used.
o _gp renamed to __global_pointer$
o Compiler -march= string is now in use allowing us to choose
required extensions (compressed, FPU, atomic, etc).

MDSRCS it intended to allow assembly versions of funtions with C
implementations listed in MISRCS. The selection of the correct
machdep_ldis?.c for a given architecture does not follow this pattern
and the file should be added to SRCS directly.

Hardfloat is now default (use riscv64sf as TARGET_ARCH

The initial value of NOASM is nearly the same in all cases and the
initial value of PSEUDO is the same in all cases so reduce duplication
(and hopefully, future merge conflicts) by machine independent defaults.
Also document the PSEUDO variable.

This eliminates the need for machine dependant assembly wrappers for
pipe(2).
It also make passing an invalid address to pipe(2) return EFAULT rather
than triggering a segfault. Document this behavior (which was already
true for pipe2(2), but undocumented).

They are not used anywhere else in the base system and are an internal

RISC-V is a new ISA designed to support computer research and education, and
is now become a standard open architecture for industry implementations.
This is a minimal set of changes required to run 'make kernel-toolchain'
using external (GNU) toolchain.
