Does pr_fmt() not work for you?
Also, "Zkr Extension" doesn't really seem super helpful to a punter if
they saw it in a log. Why not s/Zkr Extension/archrandom/, or similar?

What relevance does the second half of this comment have to the kernel?

tiny nit, "On-going"? My OCD is bother by the capitalisation otherwise.

Could you please write this in a more readable way, even if that is
going to be a lot more verbose? I know you copied it from x86, but
that's not really an excuse ;)

Also, is there a reason that you opted not to use the alternative-backed
riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() here? The ones backed by alternatives
are preferred if you are not checking on a per-cpu, or once-off basis.

Cheers,
Conor.
