[PATCH (PING) 0/1] target/riscv: misa to ISA string conversion fix

[Tsukasa OI <research_trasio@irq.a4lg.com>]

[This is the same patch as previous ones]
<https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-riscv/2022-02/msg00098.html>
 (qemu-riscv only)
<https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-riscv/2022-02/msg00097.html>
 (resent due to configuration error of my mail server; qemu-riscv only)

I hope this is applied before the QEMU 7.0 release.

S and U are misa bits but not extensions (instead, they are supported
privilege modes).  Thus, they should not be copied to the ISA string.

I am truly surprised that this patchset is the THIRD attempt to fix this
longstanding problem.

(3) February 2022: by me (this patchset)

I feel this is urgent to eliminate this bug now considering it required
a workaround to RISC-V Linux kernel as I pointed out:
<http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-riscv/2022-February/012252.html>


Though my patchset is first developed independently, this submitted
version is influenced by (2) Emmanuel Blot's patchset.  Thanks to this,
constant "[n]" can now be variable "[]".

It also fixes an ordering issue where 'C' should be preceded by 'L'
(order: 'L' -> 'C') as per the RISC-V ISA Manual (version 20191213),
Table 27.1.

It clarifies the role of `riscv_exts'.  It's a single-letter extrension
ordering list.
