    Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
     "We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11:
    
       - Support for the contiguous memory allocator.
    
       - Support for IRQ Time Accounting
    
       - Support for stack tracing
    
       - Support for strict /dev/mem
    
       - Support for kernel section protection
    
      I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the
      timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this
      cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK). There
      are, however, some fixes on the list that I will likely be sending
      along either later this week or early next week.
    
      There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations
      (PREEMPT{,_DEBUG}=y) fails to boot on QEMU 5.0.0 (from April) as of
      the .text.init alignment patch.
    
      With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get
      fixed all over the place and how unrelated those features seem my
      guess is that we're just running into something that's been lurking
      for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU (though I
      wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit assumptions we
      have in the boot flow). If it was hardware I'd be strongly inclined to
      look more closely, but given that users can upgrade their simulators
      I'm less worried about it"
