Copy-paste from a Mips patch? Should say riscv :)

It looks like this code is duplicated from xtensa and is effectively the
same as mips. Can this code be placed in a generic file so that the code
can be shared between mips, riscv, and xtensa -- maybe a new config that
gets selected by mips/riscv/xtensa?
