__riscv_xlen will always be defined for all riscv targets, so also
checking __riscv isn't necessary when a specific bit width also needs
to be checked. __riscv is useful for checks that don't need to be
concerned with the bit width. Grepping, I see instances of both
"defined(__riscv) && __riscv_xlen ==" and just "__riscv_xlen ==".
IMHO, the former should be reduced to the latter, rather than creating
more instances of them.
