I confirm the issue. To make things clear, it's not a Makefile issue,
sparse get passed the correct -march=rv64ima_zicsr_zifencei value, and
only display the part it can't parse.

On the medium/long term, sparse should get fixed to support those
extensions. On the short term, we need to find a way to get different
flags for sparse than for as/gcc.
