Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 19/21] riscv: Allocate space for vector registers in start_thread()
Date:   Thu,  9 Sep 2021 01:45:31 +0800
Message-Id: <5d99eab37a683d21e0cec75bfcec96ad8b480d02.1631121222.git.greentime.hu@sifive.com>

It allocates memory space for vector registers in start_thread() instead of
allocating in vstate_restore() in this patch. We can allocate memory here
so that it will be more readable.
