Hey,
Here's an attempted (interim?) fix for issues on v5.10 due to the
presence of zifencei & zicsr in object files. I'm seeing another issue
that only appears with ld from binutils-2.35 & not with ld from
binutils-2.37 on riscv/for-next:
/stuff/toolchains/binutils-2.35/bin/riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: .init.data has both ordered [`__patchable_function_entries' in init/main.o] and unordered [`.meminit.data' in mm/sparse.o] sections
/stuff/toolchains/binutils-2.35/bin/riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: bad value
But that's far far further on in the build than we were getting before
these patches.

Even if we end up dealing with the emitted strings a different way [1],
I think the first patch here has some value in moving the check to
Kconfig so that it's far easier to tell if the toolchain does need/use
these extensions from someone's build artifacts.

Cheers,
Conor.
