Strictly speaking we could just add another option for the header so
that you could also disable it for S-mode. But then again the header
is not very harmful, as you don't have to use it. It just eats up
a little more kernel space. And as that aspace is very tight for my
M-mode target (the Kendryte KD210) and it is totally pointless for
M-mode I just remove it there.
The idea of using M-mode Linux as the SBI sounds cool.
