[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 17/35] RISC-V: No traps on writes to misa, minstret, mcycle

[Michael Clark <mjc@sifive.com>]

These fields are marked WARL (Write Any Values, Reads
Legal Values) in the RISC-V Privileged Architecture
Specification so instead of raising exceptions,
illegal writes are silently dropped.
