RISC-V: cpufeatures: Put the upper 16 bits of patch ID to work
cpufeature IDs are consecutive integers starting at 26, so a 32-bit
patch ID allows an aircraft carrier load of feature IDs. Repurposing
the upper 16 bits still leaves a boat load of feature IDs and gains
16 bits which may be used to control patching on a per patch-site
basis.
This will be initially used in Zicboz's application to clear_page(),
as Zicboz's block size must also be considered. In that case, the
upper 16-bit value's role will be to convey the maximum block size
which the Zicboz clear_page() implementation supports.
cpufeature patch sites which need to check for the existence or
absence of other cpufeatures may also be able to make use of this.
