An IPI backend is always required in an SMP configuration, but an SBI
implementation is not. For example, SBI will be unavailable when the
kernel runs in M mode. For this reason, consider IPI delivery of cache
and TLB flushes to be the base case, and any other implementation (such
as the SBI remote fence extension) to be an optimization.
Generally, if IPIs can be delivered without firmware assistance, they
are assumed to be faster than SBI calls due to the SBI context switch
overhead. However, when SBI is used as the IPI backend, then the context
switch cost must be paid anyway, and performing the cache/TLB flush
directly in the SBI implementation is more efficient than injecting an
interrupt to S-mode. This is the only existing scenario where
riscv_ipi_set_virq_range() is called with use_for_rfence set to false.
sbi_ipi_init() already checks riscv_ipi_have_virq_range(), so it only
calls riscv_ipi_set_virq_range() when no other IPI device is available.
This allows moving the static key and dropping the use_for_rfence
parameter. This decouples the static key from the irqchip driver probe
order.
Furthermore, the static branch only makes sense when CONFIG_RISCV_SBI is
enabled. Optherwise, IPIs must be used. Add a fallback definition of
riscv_use_sbi_for_rfence() which handles this case and removes the need
to check CONFIG_RISCV_SBI elsewhere, such as in cacheflush.c.

When registering the riscv-timer or clint-timer as a clock_event device,
the driver needs to specify the value of max_delta_ticks. This value
directly influences the max_delta_ns, which represents the maximum time
interval for configuring subsequent clock events. Currently, both
riscv-timer and clint-timer are set with a max_delta_ticks value of
0x7fff_ffff. When the timer operates at a high frequency, this values
limists the system to sleep only for a short time. For the 1GHz case,
the sleep cannot exceed two seconds. To address this limitation, refer to
other timer implementations to extend it to 2^(bit-width of the timer) - 1.
Because the bit-width of $mtimecmp is 64bit, this value becomes ULONG_MAX
(0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff).

To do remote FENCEs (i.e. remote TLB flushes) using IPI calls on the
RISC-V kernel, we need hardware mechanism to directly inject IPI from
the supervisor mode (i.e. RISC-V kernel) instead of using SBI calls.
The upcoming AIA IMSIC devices allow direct IPI injection from the
supervisor mode (i.e. RISC-V kernel). To support this, we extend the
riscv_ipi_set_virq_range() function so that IPI provider (i.e. irqchip
drivers can mark IPIs as suitable for remote FENCEs.

Currently, the RISC-V kernel provides arch specific hooks (i.e.
struct riscv_ipi_ops) to register IPI handling methods. The stats
gathering of IPIs is also arch specific in the RISC-V kernel.
Other architectures (such as ARM, ARM64, and MIPS) have moved away
from custom arch specific IPI handling methods. Currently, these
architectures have Linux irqchip drivers providing a range of Linux
IRQ numbers to be used as IPIs and IPI triggering is done using
generic IPI APIs. This approach allows architectures to treat IPIs
as normal Linux IRQs and IPI stats gathering is done by the generic
Linux IRQ subsystem.
We extend the RISC-V IPI handling as-per above approach so that arch
specific IPI handling methods (struct riscv_ipi_ops) can be removed
and the IPI handling is done through the Linux IRQ subsystem.

clint_time_val will soon be used by the RISC-V implementation of
random_get_entropy(), which is a static inline function that may be used by
modules (at least CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY=m).

The K210 doesn't implement rdtime in M-mode, and since that's where Linux runs
in the NOMMU systems that means we can't use rdtime. The K210 is the only
system that anyone is currently running NOMMU or M-mode on, so here we're just
inlining the timer read directly.
This also adds the CLINT driver as an !MMU dependency, as it's currently the
only timer driver availiable for these systems and without it we get a build
failure for some configurations.
