Subject: [PATCH v9 11/12] riscv: don't use global static vars to store alternative data
Date:   Wed, 13 Apr 2022 05:03:06 +0200
Message-Id: <20220413030307.133807-12-heiko@sntech.de>

Right now the code uses a global struct to store vendor-ids
and another global variable to store the vendor-patch-function.

There exist specific cases where we'll need to patch the kernel
at an even earlier stage, where trying to write to a static
variable might actually result in hangs.

Also collecting the vendor-information consists of 3 sbi-ecalls
(or csr-reads) which is pretty negligible in the context of
booting a kernel.

So rework the code to not rely on static variables and instead
collect the vendor-information when a round of alternatives is
to be applied.
