Hi,

Initially this was supposed to be just the first 2 patches, where we
enable users to be able to actually write the MISA CSR (yes, at this
moment all the code in write_misa() is a no-op).

During an internal discussion of that code, Andrew Jones pointed out
that I was setting RISCV_FEATURE_MISA by just mirroring the value
already set in cpu->cfg.misa_w, and asked why that was necessary.
Instead of replying "I'm doing it because it's being done for every
other feature in that enum" - which was the truth - I decided to take a
closer look.

The RISCV_FEATURES_* enum and the CPUArchState::features attribute were
introduced 4+ years ago, as a way to retrieve the enabled hart features
that aren't represented via MISA CSR bits. Time passed on, and
RISCVCPUConfig was introduced. With it, we now have a centralized way of
reading all hart features that are enabled/disabled by the user and the
board. All recent features are reading their correspondent cpu->cfg.X
flag.

All but the 5 features in the RISCV_FEATURE_* enum. These features are
still operating in the same way: set it during riscv_cpu_realize() using
their cpu->cfg value, read it using riscv_feature() when needed. There
is nothing special about them in comparison with all the other features
and extensions to justify this special handling.

This series then is doing two things: first we're actually allowing
users to write the MISA CSR if they so choose. Then we're deprecate each
RISC_FEATURE_* usage until, in patch 11, we remove everything related to
it. All 5 existing RISCV_FEATURE_* features will be handled as everyone
else. 

Note: patch 6 is adding an error message that will fire a checkpatch.pl
warning (82 chars). The following patch will put the error message back
into the acceptable 80 chars range.
