[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] RISC-V: Ignore the S and U extensions when formatting ISA strings

[Palmer Dabbelt]

The ISA strings we're providing from QEMU aren't actually legal RISC-V
ISA strings, as both the S and U extensions cannot exist as
single-letter extensions and must instead be multi-letter strings.
We're still using the ISA strings inside QEMU to track the availiable
extensions, so this patch just strips out the S and U extensions when
formatting ISA strings.

This boots Linux on top of 4.1-rc3, which no longer has the U extension
in /proc/cpuinfo.
