I'll apply that part of the patch.

RISC-V has a FENCE instruction and the A extension (which is part of
the G instruction set) provides atomic memory operations. So the
architecture should provide coherent DMA support. To enable support,
util/udma_barrier.h needs to be adjusted. I am including
linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org in the loop for help.
