This simply explains what the patch does, which is also pretty easy to
see by just reading the patch, so doesn't provide real additional value.

Please use the commit message to provide more background on what
you want to achieve. I.e. a short explanation what it is.

-----
Implement support for the ZiHintPause extension.

The PAUSE instruction is a HINT that indicates the current hart’s rate of
instruction retirement should be temporarily reduced or paused.

The second sentence obviously comes directly from the riscv-spec pdf ;-)

There is one nit below too and with that fixed

On a Qemu build with your extension patch for it, also

You don't really need the braces for the single call to static_branch_enable
