riscv: Add support for non-coherent devices using zicbom extension
The Zicbom ISA-extension was ratified in november 2021 and introduces instructions for dcache invalidate, clean and flush operations. Implement cache management operations for non-coherent devices based on them. Of course not all cores will support this, so implement an alternative-based mechanism that replaces empty instructions with ones done around Zicbom instructions. As discussed in previous versions, assume the platform being coherent by default so that non-coherent devices need to get marked accordingly by firmware.
