Changes since v1:
------------------
- Bump RISCV_HWPROBE_MAX_KEY (modified 1/4).
- Add documentation for the Zicbop hwprobe bit/key (new 3/4).
- Add a selftest(prefetch.c) for Zicbop (new 4/4).

Add UAPI and kernel plumbing to expose the Zicbop extension presence
and its block size through hwprobe. The interface mirrors
Zicbom/Zicboz. This allows userspace to safely discover and optimize
for Zicbop when available.

Background: Zicbop is mandated by the RVA22U64 profile. Downstream may
combine the presence bit with ZICBOP_BLOCK_SIZE to make profile-level
policy decisions or enable Zicbop-specific optimizations.

I'm not sure why patches 1-3 aren't just squashed together like commit
eb1003970940 ("RISC-V: hwprobe: Expose Zicbom extension and its block
size") does for zicbom.

Thanks,

I found that there are a few different styles in the tree, but
following the Zicbom example would indeed be cleaner.

I’ll squash 1-3 together in v3 for simplicity and consistency.

Thanks,
Zihong
