      Description

        RISC-V has many extensions and it's not feasible to set them correctly on the command line for users.
        There is no instruction to get the cpu, such as cpuid on x86.

        Instead a syscall is being added:
        https://docs.kernel.org/riscv/hwprobe.html

        By adding this syscall and making use of it when available we can enable the correct extensions for the user.
