Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Support for various vector-accelerated crypto routines

 - Hibernation is now enabled for portable kernel builds

 - mmap_rnd_bits_max is larger on systems with larger VAs

 - Support for fast GUP

 - Support for membarrier-based instruction cache synchronization

 - Support for the Andes hart-level interrupt controller and PMU

 - Some cleanups around unaligned access speed probing and Kconfig
   settings

 - Support for ACPI LPI and CPPC

 - Various cleanus related to barriers

 - A handful of fixes
